using latest build available on ftp right now. Build #2000060908. Win 98. steps to reproduce: 1.) load any web page 2.) highlight some text. 3.) click "copy" expected result: text should have been copied to clipboard and menu should have disappeared acutal result: copy menu item truns grey, menu remains, text is not copied to clipboard.
similar bug on linux but not identical: -menuitem "copy" turns grey when clicked, but context-menu doesn't vanish -selection on page turns grey already when you mouse down over the menu-items in context-menu -clicking "copy" DOES perform a copy: selection can afterwards be pasted into third party app -one has to click once in page to make context-menu go away.
confirmed. linux does copy text to clipboard, with an extra space at the end. Once mozilla preforms a read operation on the clipboard, then the context menu doesn't get stuck (ie, paste into another app, of the location bar).

I think this ones falls into mjudge's domain of copy/paste.

this sounds very similar to bug #39308; however, it could also be related to bug #14874. It's probably a duplicate of one of these...
going to reassign this one to Akkana for debugging

Regarding my former observations on moz for linux, June 11th: These are all gone - all behaviour now seem to be the expected one, meaning correct. This bug seems to have fixed itself ;) 2000-062321
Is anyone still seeing this (subject to the usual limitations that sometimes copy and paste are greyed out -- there's another bug on that)?
Sounds like no one is seeing this any more. Marking worksforme.
