Copy & Paste

[ShyGuy82]

This bug exists only in Opera and can be reproduced every single time. It's a CKE's problem, here is more info on this

My user told me it was in IE7

My users are using IE7, Chrome, Firefox, IE8 etc/

Move your mouse past the last line of your text and right-click, a different context-menu comes up where Paste is greyed out.
If your mouse is within the the text when you right-click (regardless of where the cursor is), the proper context menu comes up that includes the paste command.

My guess is that what's happening is that if the mouse is not within your text, the text box loses focus, and that's why the wrong context menu comes up. It's a bug, IMHO.

Thanks Lynne.

I can reproduce it on my forum so I will set up login details for them.

[Lynne]

You may do so, but they won't be able to fix it if they can't reproduce it. You need to be able to tell the devs how to reproduce it if you want it fixed.

[JoyB]

Perhaps this should be submitted as a bug?

[Darth Gill]

One of my members reported this problem to me yesterday also... Weird....

[JoyB]

Thank you Lynne

Hopefully someone else may be experiencing the same problem?

You say it doesn't work here either? Cuz it works just fine for me - mac/firefox

example of copy/paste from your post just using my mouse copy/paste:
All the members on my forum are using WYSIWYG including me but "right click" paste just doesn't work.

Yep, works fine.

Very odd issue..... I would say it is something with your browser except you say it is happening to all your users also. I don't know what to suggest. Perhaps someone else knows what to suggest next.

Thanks Lynne

[Lynne]

You need to be using the WYSIWYG editor in order to copy/paste with style.

(My right click works fine here in WYSIWYG and standard mode though.)

Thanks Trevor.

No it doesn't work on here either. It is affecting the majority of my members and they are using different browsers.

[Trevor Hannant]

What browser(s) are you trying this in and does it work Ok here?

[JoyB]

I'm not sure if I need to enable a setting or something but I'm not able to simply copy & paste directly in a post anymore? It works with Ctrl V but not with "right click"?
