292485 - cut to clipboard fails, i.e. highlighted text bocomes un-highlighted almost instantly

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Ole Kristensen]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050414 Firefox/1.0.3

The cut (copy) to clipboard functions only occurs on one of several machines
running Firefox. I have reinstalled Firefox on the offending machine = no
change. Cut to clipboard works with all other software in this machine.
Despription: When I attempt to highligh text to copy to clipboard, it stays
highlightes so long as the mouse button is depressed but disappears immediately
when I let go at the button.
I suspect corrupt software module, but a reinstall did not solve the problem.

Reproducible: Always

What happens if you run firefox in safemode?

Are you sure you're not using an extension like Auto Copy 0.5.4?

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.
