WFM, FF 1.0.1, WinXP.  Is it just e-mail addresses you can't copy/paste?

Private mail from reporter indicates this is a general problem with any
copy/paste.  That is clearly WFM, so marking as such.

Reporter, I wonder if you have a corrupt installation.  Please uninstall FireFox
completely, and try reinstalling and using a new profile.  I suspect that will
make the problem go away.  If not, please re-open the bug.
