Do you see this behavior in safe mode? http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode

Reproducible with Mozilla 1.7.10, it seems that the copy/cut/paste commands
aren't enabled in the first Compose window of the session. They start working
again when I switch to another window and back.

Yes.  Once I open another mail window, the problem is gone (problem only appears
on the first mail window).  It also only seems to happen when I open the e-mail
client in Mozilla directly (as I often do).  This is a temporary fix, until the
problem is hopefully resolved in the next security release.  I am not sure if
this problems appears in Thunderbird or on other platforms with Mozilla as I do
not currently use these versions.

I couldn't reproduce on Linux. Maybe a Windows-only issue?

Not necessarily a duplicate, but probably at least related.  Yes, I forgot to
mention that the arrow keys also do not work in the first mail window that is
brought up.

Could you check the regression timeframe from bug 301917, to help confirm if
duplicate or not ? Thanks.

Can those of you who were experiencing this bug please get today's branch build
from http://mozilla.isc.org/pub/mozilla.org/mozilla/nightly/latest-1.7/ and
verify that this issue is indeed fixed by the changes at bug 301917? Thanks.

I could reproduce this bug with 2005071908 on WinXP (like in comment 2). I
tested again with build 2005072706 (with the fix for bug 301917) and I can
confirm that it now works for me! So this bug is fixed (and a dupe).
