Firefox Copy/paste bug on answers.microsoft.com
When I'm composing a message there, and copy some text from i.e. that thread page, this thread page, a google search, etc. in the Firefox browser, and try to paste it into my message, nothing happens.
However, If I paste the item elsewhere, i.e. in my test editor, and copy it from there, then I can paste it into the answers.microsoft.com. thread message.
I initially thought this was some Microsoft site restriction, but I don't experience this in Chrome. Not only can I paste into a thread there, but I can copy something on that page and paste it into that Microsoft thread in Firefox.
So I suppose. strictly speaking, this is a pasting problem.
Here's an example of a thread there link text

Any better luck if you paste plain text? Either:
- Ctrl+Shift+V
- right-click > Paste Without Formatting

There seems to be something amiss as I've been finding that I randomly can't COPY text from various sights. If I highlight and right-click the Copy option is greyed-out, though sometimes Ctrl-C will still work. I haven't had any trouble with PASTING though.
I wonder if there's a problem with the whole clipboard thing.
