42625 - Cut/Copy/Paste broken in text area of a form

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect, P1)

Description

[hirata masakazu]

Cut/Copy/Paste is not available within a text area, at the very first time a browser window is open with a 
page that has a form.
After selecting a text in the body of page, Cut/Copy/Paste becomes available.
However, sometimes Paste is only possible from either another text area or the body text.
Pasting once within the same text area may work, but the second time, text previously copied from body is 
pasted.
Weird.

Summary corrected

sounds like an editor bug

I tried this out on win32 and it works fine, on the mac, I cannot select text
from the summary and paste it into the textarea. I also tried selecting text
from within the text area and paste -- and that doesn't work either. So, for
form elements, on the mac -- cut/copy/paste is hosed. Assigning to Kathy for
debugging

42885 and 42108 describe most of the anomaly found here.
Peculiar to this one are:
1)At first, Paste becomes available only when you select a text from body text.
2)Once Pasting becomes available, Copy/Pasting within the same text area works 
for the first Paste action only.

M16 has been out for a while now, these bugs target milestones need to be 
updated.

I have a fix in hand.  With this fix, I can do the following:
  copy in an input area and paste into a textarea
  copy in a textarea and paste into the textarea
  copy from the textarea and paste into urlbar

I don't see any issues right now based on what has been previously described in
this bug (such as when Paste is enabled/disabled).
