GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 273285
cannot copy or cut email addresses from To field while composing
Last modified: 2013-09-13 00:44:58 UTC
this is a regression from 2.0.x. Compose an email and fill in To: field using some names from your contacts folder. Then select 1 or more name and try to paste it into another context such as the message body or another app ... * tried select and middle click - nothing * tried select and ctrl-C and then ctrl-V in another app - nothing * try to select and then right mouse click- now the expected clipboard menu appears but the selection disappears! This is really annoying since I often have to insert email addresses elsewhere - either in the body of the mail or in another context.
