45849 - right clicking and copy does not write to clipboard

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

Description

[Arun Rao]

I am using build 2000071708.

Selecting text ,right clicking the mouse and copying doesnot write content to
clipboard. When paste is selected from the main edit menu it pastes the older
conents of the clipboard.

Right clicking to paste causes the paste option to be enabled after a copy but
when selected nothing happens and the option gets greyed out in both the main
edit menu and the right clicked menu.

To reproduce: Select text right click and select copy. place mouse some where
else on the test area and right click, select paste. Nothing happens and notice
that the next time you right click paste is greyed out in both the main and
right clicked menu.

COnfirmed with 071910 mozilla build on NT.  mozilla copies from the Edit menu
item and from ctrl+c but not from the context menu.

Comment 7

[Peter Trudelle]

->pinkerton, Is this another symptom of the 'stealing focus' issue, or should we
separately nominate for nsbeta3?

Comment 8

[Mike Pinkerton (not reading bugmail)]

i'm sure it's a stealing focus thing. clipboard hasn't been touched in months.

Comment 9

[Peter Trudelle]
