Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: Page Info Window, defect)

Description

[dubious]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080404 Firefox/2.0.0.14
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8.1.14) Gecko/20080404 Firefox/2.0.0.14

For every site I've tried, using FF > Tools > Page Info > Forms > Current value > rClk > sel all > copy. No problem indication, except that none of the text gets to the clipboard.

. Notepad > Edit > Paste does nothing !?

. Word > Edit > Paste does nothing !?

. This works almost* as expected only for ' Page Info - Form Action' field, and is ignored/prevented for all other Page Info fields: 'Name' 'Method', and 'Current Value' fields.

* Selects only entire line of 3 fields, but copies only ‘Action’.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.browse to any web form fill-in.
2.FF > Tools > Page Info > Forms > Current value > rClk > sel all > copy
3.open local text or word processor file
4. Ctrl+V or Edit > Paste
5. be frustrated at the blank paste area.
Actual Results:  
as described in details above.

Expected Results:  
as described in details above.

This problem might reflect a larger issue of function control with Page Info.

The Page Info dialog no longer shows form info, so this is no longer an issue in Firefox 3.
