Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 55312

(MailNews Core :: Composition, defect)

Description

[Fred Richardson]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i686; en-US; rv:0.9+) Gecko/20010605
BuildID:    2001060511

When I try to highlight text in Emacs running remotely, and then middle click
the mouse in a local Mozilla compose window, the highlighted text is not copied.
 Also, "Paste" from the "Edit" menu doesn't work either.  I'm running Mozilla
under Ximian Gnome.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select "Tasks->Mail"
2. Click on "New Message"
3. Highlight some text with the mouse in a remotely running Emacs.
4. Click the middle mouse button in the mail compose window.

Actual Results:  Nothing.

Expected Results:  Highlighted text should be copied into the mail compose window.

This is a problem with the clipboard in general, not just mailnews.

A temporary sort-of-fix for this was checked in on June 8.

The permanent fix is bug 84973.
