309001 - Clipboard not working properly

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9a1) Gecko/20050917 Firefox/1.6a1

If I copy something to the clipboard in Firefox then open a new instance of it
by clicking on the shortcut again I will be unable to paste from the clipboard
into that session.

If I then paste from the clipboard to another different application, say into
notepad I can then paste the same text into the new Firefox window.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Copy any text to the clipboard
2.Open up a new Firefox window via the shortcut
3.Try to paste text into address bar

Actual Results:  
No text pasted

Expected Results:  
Pasted the text

The clipboard doesn't seem to have been working as I would expect since I put
1.5 Beta on. I have a feeling that this isn't the only thing it's doing stangely
but it's the first I've been able to reproduce.

Reproducible with SeaMonkey 1.0a and SeaMonkey/20050901 but WFM with
SeaMonkey/20050831.

After switching to another window, switching back to the window opened in step 2
and selecting the address bar again, pasting into the address bar seems to work
again.

Related to bug 308869 or maybe Core bug 220900 comment 123?

That would (now) be bug 363735.

WorksForMe (on Windows 2000),
using my own usual shortcut from the Windows desktop.

Reopen if you can reproduce with Firefox v2.0.0.14 ?
