Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 279496

(Toolkit :: Form Manager, defect)

Description

[Ryuichi KUBUKI]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b) Gecko/20050123 Firefox/1.0+
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b) Gecko/20050123 Firefox/1.0+

Right-clicking in a edit box cancels a hilighted area. Because of this you can't
copy/cut/paste/delete in edit boxes only with the mouse.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enter a text line in a text area
2. Select it by dragging the mouse or Shift+Arrow
3. Right-click to spawn the context-menu to cut/copy/paste/delete it

Actual Results:  
The hilight immediately disappears and the cut/copy/paste/delete in the
context-menu are grayed out.

Expected Results:  
The hilight stays there and the context-menu shows the cut/copy/paste/delete.

20050116 was okay IIRC.
