85625 - Copy paste to other apps does not work AT ALL after theme switch

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Core Graveyard :: Skinability, defect)

Description

[patrick]

Copy paste of information, be it an URL (right click, copy link location or from
the address bar (select)), or any other information between Mozilla 0.9.1 does
not work at all. It used to work in 0.8.1. The is very annoying and renders it
almost useless to me. I am using FreeBSD 4.3-STABLE with XFree86 4.x and KDE.
Please help.
I cannot even inform [e-mail] about the spoofeed browserversion my
proxy is sending, because I cannot copy the text :)

I found out that the problem only occurs if you just changed skins. If you close
mozilla and restart, copy/paste to other apps works just fine. Keep up the good
work, it's getting better every time :)

Work around:
I am using Mac OS 8.6 Mozilla Build 2001072508, Modern theme.
Copy & paste work, when I select the commands from the menu.
They do not work if I try to use the "accelerator" keys Cmd-C or Cmd-V.
Perhaps if choose "Copy" from the menu, you will be able to use middle mouse
button 2 under Unix, to paste.
Try checking under what conditions your clipboard is filled. (xclipboard?)
