From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20030203 Description of problem: https://listman.redhat.com/pipermail/phoebe-list/2003-February/002007.html 1. Open Mozilla to any page with a text area, or compose a new message in Mozilla Mail. 2. Run gnome-terminal, konsole, or xterm. 3. Use gedit or gvim to open any large text file. Run "gedit filename.txt" from the command line. 4. Copy and paste a few pages of text. 5. Paste into Mozilla. Mozilla freezes for a few seconds, but nothing happens. Strangely, sometimes it is able to copy and paste properly if you run gedit or gvim from the ALT-F2 "Run" dialog. Copy & paste with any KDE app like kedit or kate always works. https://listman.redhat.com/pipermail/phoebe-list/2003-February/002040.html Blizzard thinks it is this bug upstream: http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=56219 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): mozilla-1.2.1-19 How reproducible: Always
This seems fixed in Fedora Core.
