When typing a message, the basic editing commands one expects a text entry box to have in the GTK+ environment do not work. For example, Ctrl+C for copy, Ctrl+Z for undo. There are a couple different (but frequent!) usage scenarios that this causes issues for me with: 1. My trackpad sometimes inadvertently selects all text. Then the next character I type erases everything in the text box, and I am unable to undo to get it back. 2. Sometimes, I need to send the exact same text to multiple persons. I'd prefer to do this with Ctrl+C to copy, change tabs, and then Ctrl+V to paste. But, I cannot, and I have to use the mouse to highlight and middle-click the selection into the next tab or window. The biggest problem is the first one; however, implementing all of the basic functionality that is reasonably expected of a text editing widget would be immensely helpful.
