Any chance we can get cut'n'paste support for Firefox?

I've already tried to do that twice and was rudely told I couldn't! :p

You have it. For some reason, it stopped working for me earlier while I was doing something over at the Gleemax boards. But then after a few moments it was working again.

I use Firefox and cut & paste works just fine for me.

I'm being sent to this site to follow these steps to be able to use cut'n'paste: http://www.mozilla.org/editor/midasdemo/securityprefs.html

(I even had to type in that link!  ;)

Seems like a really roundabout way to have this functionality.  It's obviously some kind of java issue that I've never run into before.

Am I the only one?

Oh, I forget about the buttons, because I always use the keyboard commands.

By the way, I forgot to say that issues like this belong in the Support forum. We don't have thread moving ability here, so you'll have to set up the issue there. If it is there, Bill can take care of it from the list.

Ah, so Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V work.  Good to know.

Hadn't really looked at the Support tab to find the "support forum."  I'd only looked at the actual forums listed under general.

Yes - there exists some kind of weird javascript issue involving copy/cut/paste when using the context menu (the right-click thing).  Supposedly there's a work-around, but I just choose to do ctrl+c/ctrl+v or even shift+ins and shift+del

The link that Full Bleed gave seems to indicate that it's like that for security reasons. Firefox is all about security.
