I fully concur with this. It is slow and cumbersome if you want to copy things quickly.

When I would send out messages using email and Facebook, I would copy the entire message into the clipboard from the email and then copy to Facebook.

Is there a reason with Windows that you can no longer use the control-shift arrow commands?

Hi. I can definitely confirm this, usually what happens is when I paste the text it's the last bit of text I copied to the clipboard instead of what I just selected. Also, when it does actually work, I've noticed that Window-eyes handles larger bits of text instead of just a few characters. Sometimes if I'm on a web site and I have to copy a little bit of text like some kind of number, that doesn't get selected. But if I have to select a larger bit of text, like several sentences on a web page or an email that seems to work ok. I'm not sure why this is, but it's what i've seen since the whole idea of using f8 to select text got started. It's not very reliable, and I seriously wish we could go back to the old way, or at least we should be given a choice of methods to use.

Running beta 3 on a win 7 64 machine and latest Thunderbird. When trying to use the F8 function to select text in a Email message everything seems to go correctly but when trying to paste the selected text I either get the wrong text or no text at all.
