Tested using 2.4 & 3.0 m_13, WIN XP
Here is what I find.
When the focus is changed from noe control to another on a form by tabbing the
entire contents of the control is automatically selected. The behavior is in
other words consistent for all controls without regards as to individual data
type or properties of the control.
When focus is switched between windows the behavior of the controls is not
fully consistent.
Open a form and place your curser in (set focus to ) a text control that is
configured for Text type = Single-line. Switch to a different window and switch
back, the cursor postion in the control remains as it was before the switch
away and back.
Now place the curser into a text control where Text type = Multi-Line (what you
have for memo fields in other words) and switch to another window. Now when you
switch back to the form the entire contents of the control is selected. In
other words they act as if the focus has just moved to the control by tabbing
to it.
Changing the summary field to reflect this then - it is not that the copy paste
is ill behaved rather it is that the current selection in a multi-line text
control is lost when the uses switches to another window.
To see this download the attached test document.
Open the form in the file.
Go to the field for country and use your mouse to select only a portion of the
word "Australia" - now togle to a different window.
Toggle back to the form window. You see that the same selection you created is
still active.
Now - select part of the text in the Comment field.
Toggle to another window.
Toggle back to the form window - the entire contents of the Comment field is
selected.
