213153 - copying from page or address bar Mozilla sends data 3 times to clipboard

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Core :: XUL, defect)

Description

[Paolo Vernazza]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030516 Mozilla Firebird/0.6
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030516 Mozilla Firebird/0.6

If you select a part of text from a page or from the address bar, mozilla sends
to the clippord the same data 3 times.
I think it is the same data, but I couldn't verify because before a clipboard
monitor can read all the data, it has been replaced by the new data.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install a clipboard monitor than logs received data
2. Open any page in mozilla and copy some text
3. Check the clipboard monitor

Actual Results:  
I see that Mozilla sent the data 3 times.

Expected Results:  
Mozilla should have sent the data only once

I tryed with Firebird 6.0 (Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US;
rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030516 Mozilla Firebird/0.6) and with Mozilla 1.3 (Mozilla/5.0
(Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312), but they have the
same behaveior.

I tryed disabling all the extensions, but the bug is always alive :)

over to xp toolkit / widgets since this sounds like a clipboard issue

Does this problem happen only in certain circumstances or in all situations. 
For example, if you copy some text inside a textarea or input, does that copy 3
times?  Does it happen only in the address bar?  Is it specific to Firebird or
does Mozilla have the same problem?

One item to note is that the clipboard might have 3 or even more "flavors" on it
(text, html, native/internal, and others)--I assume that this isn't the issue here.

What are you using to monitor the clipboard?  With the Clipbook Viewer, it looks
to me like the data is copied only once.  I wonder if you are in fact seeing the
different flavors that brade mentioned.
