Not blocking since we don't officially support Windows 7 nor 64-bit, but adding some people who are looking into windows 7-y stuff.

If not for 3.5.0, this will need to block shortly after for a point release.

Definitely wanted, but until we confirm I don't think we can block.

Jim: if you get a second, can you take a peek? Copy and Paste works for me in Windows 7 32bit, fwiw.

Working here for me as well in 32-bit. I need to update my win7, so I can do a two step where I first install 64-bit to test this. I need to finish up some work on panning feedback first though, so I'll try to confirm a little later this week.

I don't have the RC, but copying works for me on 64 bit Windows 7 Beta with 3.5b4 and 3.0

For now this seems to be "works for me", please re-open if we can get a confirmation.

This bug is from a long time now. I'm using XP and got this problem since 3.0 was introduced. This is not only on Windows 7. Try to find "copy paste" bugs and count how many of them are registered in bugzilla. This is still not fixed.

Same here on Radoslaw's comment

I can't right click a single thing, copy, paste, etc.  

XP, dunno what brand of ff, and i couldnt even tell you my win.

But I NEED MY COPY AND PASTE. Im tired of working in IE

[Vladimir Vukicevic [:vlad] [:vladv] (needinfo me, slow to respond)]

Go in to about:config, put in "conosle" and then flip javascript.options.showInConsole to true (double click).

Then open up the error console (Tools -> Error Console), clear everything out if there's leftover junk there, then try to copy/paste/whatever... does anything show up?

Also, how are you copying?  Does selecting something and going to the Edit menu and selecting Copy work, while using the right-click menu doesn't work?  Does hitting Control-C work?  Does selecting copy from the right-click context menu work?  Or does nothing work?

Nothing works. I can't right click anything. i even cleared out my virus bay in avg and spybot. I still got nothing. I tried what you stated and i can't get it.

Comment 11

[Vladimir Vukicevic [:vlad] [:vladv] (needinfo me, slow to respond)]

By "can't get it", you mean nothing shows up in the error console?

Comment 12

[[e-mail]]

No. Ok here is what i did

I ran spybot and avg scans last night, did a right click clean up because i had a bug. Restarted, loaded ff and tried to right click. Nothing happened. no bar to display copy, paste, delete, etc.

I did the error console thing, cleared cookies, and tried right click before restarting ff and nothing. No right click, nothing. Maybe I can like, undo the updates? it happened two updates ago. Is that possible? Or am i missing something?

Comment 13

[Rob Arnold [:robarnold]]

Can you right click in other applications? (I know, sounds like a silly question but just trying to narrow down possibilities). Do the keyboard shortcuts work? Can you select text?

Can you tell us your update history? From the menu, Tools -> Options, click "Advanced", click the 'Update' tab and click the "Show Update History" button.

Also, have you installed other software or is this issue happening on a clean install of Windows 7?

Problem fixed. It was the yahoo toolbar that needed to be disabled. Thank you to live support and those who tried to help. At least now if anyone has a problem they can disable yahoo toolbar in the add ons.

I have a similar problem but do not use any add-in toolbar, Yahoo or otherwise.

From the message/headers list, if I right click a message and "Copy to clipboard > Message", _sometimes_ but only occasionally nothing is sent to the clipboard and Thunderbird crashes. Usually it is with a questionable email that I cannot determine whether it is spam or legitimate, so I "copy to clipboard > Headers" then "copy to clipboard > message" to investigate by "safely" pasting into a text editor.

I would use the built-in crash reporting, but it cannot connect. I do not use a proxy, just a 1:1 NAT and SonicWall firewall.

Can this be considered a similar issue or should I submit a new bug report for the T-bird crash on "Copy to clipboard > Message"?
