Just a brief enquiry regarding the copy and paste function within Windows OS, in particular Vista 64.
Until recently I could highlight text within a web page and then happily paste it into Notepad or wherever. Now I highlight a section of text, copy but paste is 'greyed' out when I come to paste the selection!
I know that you can disable such functions within a web page but I cannot even do it with my own web pages that I know aren't disabled!
Any advice available?
EDIT:
As suspected ... it's Firefox 22 that is the issue ....
"The developers have created a fix for this problem for future versions of Firefox (Firefox 23+). Unfortunately, there's no immediate solution for Firefox 22."
The only solution I have found is to use Edit/Copy in FF tool bar and then right click and use Paste in the drop down menu and this doesn't always work!
EDIT: Firefox 23 has the fix and is due for release 6/7th August :¬)
