Subject: Cannot "paste" text copied from Skype

Date: Mon, 20 Oct 2008 23:17:46 +0200

Package: icedove
Version: 2.0.0.17-1
Severity: normal

The e-mail text edit widget from the Compose window of 
Icedove/Thunderbird does not accept any kind of text copied from Skype. The
text cannot be inserted with Ctrl+V and neither from the contextual 
menu. Even more interesting, the text cannot be pasted with the middle
mouse button either.

All the other tested widgets accept both middle click and Ctrl+V. The 
other widgets from the composing window also accept Ctrl+V and
middle click.

All other tested programs accept middle clic/Ctrl+v from Skype. 
Thunderbird accepts paste from all tested programs except Skype.

Hi,

The compose window continues to generate a segfault when pasting text from a rich content

If I copy text from uncolored kwrite, it works but if I copy text from syntax-colored kwrite Thunderbird does a segfault

This bug is realy annoying ...

This works great in 8.0 so closing this report. Please reopen if it
still crashes for you.
