270184 - Copy Column Data

I am recommending something that no other browser has.  That is the ability to
copy columns - or better yet a "spreadsheet" style copy tool which will allow
the user to essentially block out (rectangular style) the data to be copied.  

Quite often data is presented in a tabular form and right now you must copy all
columns if you want more than one row.  It would be very helpful for the user if
he could copy just a single column.  It would be even more helpful to be able to
block ranges of data, or even multiple ranges of data much like Excell allows
you to do.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
