Nope. Doesn't work in the Environment Variables dialog box. Doesn't work in
the Thunderbird about box. Doesn't work in the Notepad about box. Doesn't work
in the IE about box. Or any of the IE dialog boxes I tried, like Internet
Options.
I haven't found ANY where it works.
Hmmm. I'm don't know what you're doing differently from the rest of us.
Certainly, the text in about boxes isn't usually selectable, but aren't we
specifically talking about the dialog for editing environment variables here? If
I open the environment variable dialog, select Path, and click on the edit
button,
Try selecting any text in the dialog box before opening another one with the
edit button. Or try any of the ones I mentioned.

Path variable, which is stupid to have to do but is a lot saner than editing the
text in the edit box directly.
Surely a dialog box stinks if you have to paste its contents into an editor to
edit it.
