does it work anywhere else in mozilla?
Update.
It is working when I open a new mail message. When I forward a message,
it isn't working. I Just discovered this. I should have tested it before
I finished testing last time.
Even stranger. I just tested stuffing from a window on the local box, and that
does work.
Egads, It won't stuff into the browser window also. Very wierd!
The xterm -version output of the window that won't stuff into mozilla:
xterm -version
XFree86 3.3.3.1b(88b)
I stuffed into a current xterm, and it worked.
I now know a work around. I'll look into what updates I can do on the other
box, for xwindows.
I'm changing the severity to minor. I didn't expect that versions of xwindows
would cause this, but for some reason it is. I'll play around with it some
more, and see if I can get any more info.
Severity: major → minor

I use 0.9.3 in Linux-Mandrake 8.0 and cut & paste is *totally* broken in this
release when writing a mail. Testcase :
- Open a new mail.
- Type something on a few lines.
- Select something.
- Try to paste it with the middle button of your mouse: if you paste that word
on a blank line, the text is copied, but definitely not where you expected!
However, it still works if you paste the selection inside a non-blank line, that
is, in the middle of a sentence for example.
I can attest that this bug did not exist in 0.9.2, and I would say it is a
"critical" bug, not "minor"!
