The "Copy CTRL+C)" menu item seems to to enabled all the time even though
nothing is marked.
If I press CTRL+C in Mozilla and then CTRL+V in another applicaion nothing is
copied.

...it's probably necessary to click within the browser window, first, in order to
make the "Copy" menu item highlight.

Changing platform to 'All' (also occurs on Mac OS & Linux)

Simon, you're handling this with the selection listener, correct?
Status: NEW → ASSIGNED
Yes. The reason that Copy is enabled all the time now is that due to other bugs,
commands are not yet updated when the selection changes (but are when the focus
changes). Since a click to set focus always causes the selection to collapse to a
point, you'd end up with an always-disabled Copy item.
