Hi,
In the latest version of the Mozilla browser, I cannot select text on
pages, using keys like shifted arrow keys, 'shift+end', or
'ctrl+shift+end', and copy it to the clipboard. Select all, 'ctrl+a'
seems to still work. Also, the 'cut', 'copy', and 'paste' options seem
not to be on the 'edit' menu. In browser preferences, I have turned on
the check box for 'navigate web pages with cursor keys'. Have I found
another bug?
Cheers,
Dave

Where did you get abrowser 7.0? I thought in Dagda we have 6.02. With 6.02 I don't have the issues you described, tried all of the shortcuts and they work. Can also scroll the page with "end" and "home".

Hello!
I have Abrowser 7.0.1 on Trisquel Dagda, but I don't have the
issues you have. I'm able to select text with all those commands.
Also, I see "Cut", "Copy" and "Paste" on the "Edit" menu.
Try upgrading Abrowser from 7.0 to 7.0.1.

Edit is greyed out on my Abrowser 7.01 in the pull down menu. See attachment.
Cut, copy & paste is available in the right-click context menu though.
Issues with attaching files as well, missing text with checkboxes, doesn't seem to want to include attachments. Will link to the image attachments when I get to work.
I have ABrowser 7.0.1 and the commands in the Edit menu are all greyed out, exactly the same as in your image. I have "Copy" and "Select All" in the right-click context menu, but no "Cut" or "Paste". Keyboard shortcuts work, selecting "Always use the cursor keys to navigate within pages", in Preferences > Advanced > General, makes no difference, except allowing the cursor to move within the page as expected.
I've worked out how the Edit command functions. The Edit command icons become ungreyed when certain context-sensitive actions occur:
* When text is selected the copy icon becomes ungreyed and active.
* When the cursor is in a text field and text is on the clipboard, the paste icon becomes ungreyed and active.
* When copied text is pasted into a text field and then selected, all icons become ungreyed and active.
The command word "Edit" itself remains greyed out, so that might be a minor bug.
Dave Hunt, those key combinations work for me.
Magic Banana / BinaryDigit, yes you are correct, the Edit menu item remains greyed out but the options below still work.

Thanks, all, for exercising this a bit!
On further testing with html documents I made, I discovered that the
keyboard shortcuts for selection, copying, and pasting do work as they
should. The trouble seems to be specifically with headlines on this web
site. I wanted to share articles, using
the headlines as titles. Maybe this site disables the selection for its
own purposes? I notice, it has its own 'share' frame, with links for
twitter, facebook, ping.fm, etc.
Cheers,
Dave
