User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X 10.4; en-US; rv:1.9.1.8pre) Gecko/20100122 SeaMonkey/2.0.3pre Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X 10.4; en-US; rv:1.9.1.8pre) Gecko/20100122 SeaMonkey/2.0.3pre If one is writing a new e-mail and pastes a piece of previously-copied text into it, the insertion point leaps back to the beginning of the whole message instead of remaining at the end of the pasted piece of text. This might, I suppose, be connected with Bug 373374; I have been using CopyPaste for copying and pasting. But it may also occur with the Mac's own basic copying and pasting facility. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.Open 'Compose' window and start typing a message. 2.Paste a previously-copied piece of text into the message. Actual Results: The new piece of text is pasted, but the insertion point then leaps back to the beginning of the whole message. Expected Results: The insertion point should remain at the end of the newly-pasted piece of text. Mac G4 (PPC), OS X 10.4.11. I am using CopyPaste 2.2 for copying and pasting.
I have investigated this a little further. I apologise: I should have done this before reporting the bug. 1. It is a CopyPaste-associated problem. If CopyPaste is shut down and the Mac's own clipboard is used, the bug is not manifested. 2. When using CopyPaste, the bug only shows up if the pasted text was copied from the e-mail itself — not if the text was copied from, say, a text-editor. 3. The full name of CopyPaste is Copypaste Pro 2.2, and it is published by Script Software.
Version: unspecified → SeaMonkey 2.0 Branch
I have some more information about this phenomenon. I am now on the most recent SM 1.0.4 Pre version. 1. It is specific to Seamonkey. It does not occur in the Mac's own Mail application. 2. It does not happen if the text is copied in CopyPaste Pro's 'Clip History' (Shortcut: Command-C). It does happen if one of the multiple clipboards in the 'Clip Archive' is used (shortcut: Command-C-1, Command-C-2, etc.)
CopyPaste Pro is for MacOS only. MacOS specific bug. Stefan, there is a tester for MacOS?
