63613 - Remove `Paste' from History window

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: History: Global, defect, P3)

Description

[Blake Ross]

The `Paste' item in the Edit menu should be removed from the global history 
window.  History is read-only, and you shouldn't be allowed to paste into it 
(nor are you currently allowed to, anyways).

Attachment: proposed fix - remove menuitem and command

Comment 2

[Robert John Churchill]

On some platforms (Mac, for example), the "Paste" menuitem should be disabled 
instead of removed.

Comment 3

[timeless]

We've had this argument before, iirc macos likes "Can't Paste"

Comment 4

[Alec Flett]

we'll fix that elsewhere in a seperate, mac-specific bug.

Comment 5

[John Bafford]

Timeless: it should be disabled. Menu items shold not change their names to 
indicate they're unusabe.

Comment 6

[Andrew Thompson]

This one was thrashed to death over in bug 53800 on Undo in bookmarks. I think 
Matt (@netscape.com) may have a good solution in a patch on that bug. The 
solutions should probably be mde conistent.

[Alec Flett]

ok, I left it out for now. I'm leaving this open, but futuring it so we fix it
right eventually

removing patch/review keywords since we need a new patch

Comment 8

[Peter Lairo]

fixed with patch for bug 64218 !?

Comment 9

[Alec Flett]

sorry, maybe my above comments weren't clear: I removed paste with that checkin
(it was already in my tree) - but I'm leaving this bug open for a future fix.
(patches welcome)

reassigning history bugs to new owner - send this bug back to me if it looks
like something I should fix (such as embedding-related architecture issues),
rather than the actual history owner...

[Blake Ross]
