694881 - Mozilla Crash Reporter - paste not working

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 465876

(Toolkit :: Crash Reporting, defect)

Description

[Rob]

After a crash the "Mozilla Crash Reporter" pops up.

You can (should be able to) paste some text into the user area and if you right-click in the Field "Paste" is one of the options; but if you attempt to paste no information is transferred, you must type in by hand any details each time.

We should have copy, cut and paste (etc.) available. This avoids any need to repeat part of what is typed with repeated crashes and permits formatting comments in a text editor (instead of the tiny Window's text area).

I recall this affects all versions but I am reporting for Aurora.

This is WFM on the latest nightly. When I ran a crash me, I was able to paste into the comments both by Right Click -> Paste and by Ctrl + V

This might be a duplicate of bug 465876.

Rob: does it work if you paste a smaller amount of text? The comment box is limited to 500 characters.

I seem to recall it was only a paragraph but I expect to be crashing shortly and will test it; marking this as a dupe if necessary.

I was able to paste a large paragraph (don't know about 500 chrs) and it worked. 

I'll dupe this as Bug 465876 since I am satisfied with the proposed fix given there.
