Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. CAPS LOCK on 2. Copy text from any application to the clipboard 3. Open a new compose window, focus on the message body 4. CTRL+V fails to paste the text in the message body Actual Results: Nothing happens Expected Results: Text is pasted into message body at cursor location Pasting into other fields in Thunderbird (e.g. to: lines of the compose window, the search box on the main window) work as expected. Turning CAPS LOCK off resumes normal function. I'm unsure how to classify this, since many users will experience this as a serious issue. Granted there is a workaround on the Edit menu, but this will turn a LOT of people off the product since this is expected behaviour of practically any WIMP environment.
