830706 - hover (short hang-like state at the selection) when copying text to clipboard

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 808466

(Firefox :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[[e-mail]]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; rv:18.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/18.0
Build ID: 20130104151925

Steps to reproduce:

I select text with mouse, then copy it (click right mouse button, then select "copy")


Actual results:

after that FF hovers for a couple of seconds. During that time can not re-select text of the same text block (within paragraph) with mouse, but can interact with other elements of page. Use Windows7, on WinXP there is no problem.


Expected results:

There should be no hangs, there are no hangs on other OSs, and there are no hangs with other element on the page, except current selected.

Does it still happen in the Firefox safemode ?

Yes, it does. I tried on some computers in office, I used also clear firefox without addons too. Only on Win7, not on XP.
