867510 - Copy & paste quits working after disabling hardware acceleration

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Brian Carpenter [:geeknik]]

I just noticed that after going to Options -> Advanced -> General tab -> and unchecking 'Use hardware acceleration when available', I can no longer copy & paste data in between tabs Firefox Nightly. I can highlight the text in a tab, I can right click and select Copy, but when I go to another tab, Paste is grayed out and I can't select it. However, I can paste the text that I just copied into another application like Notepad. If I go back and re-enable hardware acceleration, copy & paste between tabs starts working again.
