This seems to be an ongoing thread on the moz unix newsgroup. I don't think its only a problem on HP. I'll ontinue tracking the thread and make sure it works on HP.
moving to M15. If we have time after getting the comercial builds running we will look into these.

Cannot consistantly cut/paste from location bar, window's clipboard viewer reports object is in binary format and cannot be displayed.
Normal Linux/X11 left-click/middle-click cut/paste doesn't work in Mozilla as it did in Netscape 4. Microsoft-style click/alt-C might work but that is a step backwards. Abandoning in-platform consistancy for cross-platform consistancy with inferior functionality is a terrible idea. Being able to easily use the clipsheet is a major feature, maybe enough to keep me using Netscape 4 for work.
Normal Unix auto-copy-on-select is working as of a week ago (on Linux, at least). Andrew should probably pick up a more recent build. Middle-mouse paste has been working for months on Linux (and sometimes on windows boxes if you set middlemouse.paste, but there seems to be a lot of variability in Windows mouse drivers and not all of them actually send a middle-click event), so this might be HP-UX specific, but if you can reproduce it on Linux, please describe how and I'll track down the middle-mouse problem (I would probably own that part of the bug, but I don't have an HP-UX box to test on). Linux does have problems with the keyboard accelerators in some dialogs; there's a bug on that somewhere but I've lost track of who owns it this week. Lophat sounds like he's reporting a problem in the windows clipboard code, which would be a different issue from anything seen on HP-UX.
No evidence of problems on 11.00 closing this bug. If we still have trouble with 10.20 we can open a new bug.
