I apologize if this is a duplicate bug report as this is my first time using Bugzilla.  This notebook has been just formatted and loaded with Firefox 1.5.  At times, the copy and paste does not work.  I noticed it happens with the address bar and "copy link/image location".  It happens randomly.  I noticed that if there is something existing in the clipboard, it just "nulls" it out.  I took a digital camera video of it.

Does paste work if you try to paste stuff into the same monitor that you copied it from?

No, it does not.  If I "copy image link" and pasted it into the address bar (providing it is one of the random buggy senarios), it does not work either.  I don't believe it is a cross application or display issue.
