185832 - Can't Paste from word in 1.3

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect)

Description

[Doug Turner (:dougt)]

Sometimes I get into a state I can't paste into an email composition from Word.
 However, during this time, I can copy and paste from within the mozilla
application (ie, i can paste the url from the browser into the mail
composition).    I am not sure of exactly what the cause is.  the workaround is
to restart mozilla.

Let me know if there is anything I can do to help debug this.

I've found that you need to copy from word into something else such as notepad
or even the address bar and then copy again from there into mail. Directly from
word will not work

And trying to paste over a word/sentence with text copied directly from word
crashes Mozilla

try this again after 187955 fix lands.

FYI, bug 187955 was verified fixed on 2003-05-13.

Dan, Doug, do you agree?

It's not always a perfect representation (mainly because of Microsoft's CSS), but I haven't seen where you can't paste at all. I couldn't reproduce it with a few tests, though it is intermittent. Probably WFM.

it could be one of the other paste bugs - does it only happen with word?

very old bug, other paste bugs exist to cover this
