I'm also running Win XP SP3 and want to give SM 2.0 a try. But, the prospect of being able to run both SM 1.1.x & SM 2.0 for at least a while is desirable.

This seems like this is best Google Groups mozilla.support.seamonkey post to add to, for the copy-&-paste problem. It seems that the consensus is that its McAfee's problem to resolve. But the first thing asked when a problem surfaces, is "What changed?" For me it's SeaMonkey (2.0). I've been running the same version of McAfee since 2009/09/27. This version of McAfee, Total Protection 2010, was released to the public before SeaMonkey 2.0. SM 2.0 is the new one in the pool (relatively), so to speak. Generally, it's up to the last changer to investigate, find any problems on their side, or determine the problem is not theirs, Yes, I confirm that turning off McAfee SiteAdvisor makes the problem go away for me also. But that doesn't mean its McAfee's fault. Personally I don't care whose fault it is. Fault is not the issue, determining what caused the problem is. Once that's established, the ball will be in whoever's court. They (whoever it turns out to be) must then decide how to respond and give a priority to that response. A MozillaZine Forums post, http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=1558785&start=15 , contains an interesting comment: "Look, the problem is with Seamonkey when you try to copy text out of it. Every other browser allows copy without problem. I am having the same issue. It happened as soon as my Seamonkey 2.0 beta upgraded itself to the release version. Also, copy was working fine in the 2.0 beta and RC2. Same firewall, same antivirus, the only thing that changed was Seamonkey. Paste from non-Seamonkey apps into Seamonkey works fine for me." So, this poster claims that copy-&-paste worked fine in SeaMonkey 2.0 right up until the time it went GA (IBM talk meaning "Generally Available"), released for production, final edition, etc. This sounds like key info for determining the cause. Also in that MozillaZine Forums post: "My final possible stupid question - who is responsible for correcting this glitch? In the past I have used the McAfee site advisor in IE and it would be annoying to switch it on and off from msconfig." I feel the same. I'm new to Google Groups mozilla.support.seamonkey . How does this get investigated? I'm not taking sides. I'd just like a definitive answer.

Actually the following Bugs seem to me to be dups: Bug 528083, Bug 527662, Bug 515169, and Bug 525706. Finding these via the searches available from the main Bugzilla page, https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ is not easy, but in the “Enter a Bug’ process they appeared at the top of the “copy paste” hits. I’ve added my input to Bug 525601. Only time will tell if anything will be investigated. Also from Bug 525601, on http://www.seamonkey-project.org/releases/seamonkey2.0/#issues, SeaMonkey 2.0, Known Issues, says: “For some Windows users, cutting or copying text, links, whatever from anywhere in SM 2.0 does not appear to place the cut or copied text in the Clipboard. Some reports say that "McAfee SiteAdviser Service" might be responsible and completely deleting or shutting down this service might fix the problem. (Bug 525601)” I’ll try contacting McAfee tomorrow.

On Nov 12, 2:03 pm, Benoit Renard < > Yet RC2 and the final version are identical, so it doesn't sound like it > came from a change in SeaMonkey (as there was none). Yes that makes sense. If you want to check out what is going on on the McAfee side, go to Site Advisor Service conflicts with SeaMonkey 2.0, http://community.mcafee.com/message/97378 Please chime in. Account creation is required to input to any of the The McAfeeCommunity discusions. The good news is that their account creation routine does not check if you're a customer. At least it didn't when I created mine. P.A.C. ___ support-seamonkey mailing list support-seamonkey@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/support-seamonkey
