User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1.7) Gecko/20091221 Firefox/3.5.7
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1.7) Gecko/20100111 Lightning/1.0b1 Thunderbird/3.0.

The text in the Subject field can be highlighted, but not copied to the
clipboard via Ctrl-c shortcut.  Using the mouse to initiate the dropdown copy
works as designed.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Highlight the text in the subject of any email.
2.Enter the Ctrl-C keyboard shortcut sequence.
3.Attempt to paste the contents to any text field (ie., notepad, a new message, the search field, etc..)
Actual Results:  
Previous clipboard text is pasted.  Ie., the clipboard text was not updated.

Expected Results:  
New text copied to the clipboard.

Filing with Normal priority since this is also qualifies as a Sec-508 Accessibility bug.

This WFM on mac and on windows. Does it work in -safe-mode (http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode) ?

Comment 3

It works in Safe Mode and in regular mode, but not with Lightning enabled. Moving to Calendar/Lightning accordingly.

Same as Bug 521003?

I'm not sure the Lightning guys will care much about a bug that *looks* like it's a Thunderbird bug to the users; but it's an annoying bug because you only discover it doesn't work later, when you're "elsewhere", trying to Paste. So ... requesting wanted‑calendar1.0.

Agreed, too close to be anything else.
