206509 - Cannot copy to outside of Mozilla

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect)

Description

[Mark]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3.1) Gecko/20030425
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3.1) Gecko/20030425

This occurs in the navigator and the view page source window. I have tried with
the edit copy command and the shortcut key and the right click click on copy. I
have tried this on lots of pages and it sometimes works in the navigator and i
always never works in the view page source. I cannot copy text and then paste it
outside of mozilla. It works in a textbox like this one, but not on html text. I
have tested it on this page here 'http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/enter_bug.cgi' and
it doesn't work too.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Select the text
2.Copy it (Any way)
3.Goto a different program and paste it

Actual Results:  
Nothing is copied. If something was in the clipboard before, it's still there.

Expected Results:  
Should be copied.
