David,
We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all
reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago
and there have been many changes in Ubuntu since that time.
We would like to close this bug report as it refers to a very old
version of Firefox but before we do we are asking do you still see a
problem related to that which you reported?
If we do not hear from you the bug report will close itself in
approximately 60 days time.
Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.

Title:
Copying doesn't work in Gmail if "Show position of pointer when the
Control key is pressed" option is turned on
Status in firefox package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
Copying via the Ctrl+C shortcut doesn't work in Gmail when said option
is turned on. To be precise: the copying (filling the clipboard)
action is probably functional, but when I press Ctrl, the selection
highlight disappears, so no text is copied. Pasting via Ctrl+V works,
but that does not require highlighting.
The problem is actually not only with Gmail. If I highlight a word in
Firefox (say, on this page), and press Ctrl, the highlight remains,
but turns grey, instead of the usual green color, as if the window had
lost the focus. When I release the Ctrl key, the green color is
restored. Also, in this scenario (provided I also press C, of course),
the highlighted text IS copied to the clipboard.
Finally, other applications, like LibreOffice or GEdit do not exhibit
any of the problems described above.
I am using Linux Mint 16, Cinnamon, 64bit. Firefox is at version 26.0
(i.e. the official Linux Mint version). This problem most likely
affects Ubuntu as well.
To reproduce problem 2:
1. Load a page in Firefox.
2. Highlight a word.
3. Push down Ctrl do not release it yet.
4. Observe that the highlight has become grey.
5. Press C.
6. Release the Ctrl key.
7. Observe that the highlight is green again.
8. Paste the contents of the clipboard to somewhere, and observe that the
word you highlighted in Firefox is copied successfully.
To reproduce problem 1:
1. Load Gmail in Firefox.
2. Click on 'Compose'.
3. Write a few words, highlight one of them.
3. Push down Ctrl do not release it yet.
4. Observe that the highlight has disappeared.
5. Press C.
6. Release the Ctrl key.
7. Press Ctrl+V, and observe that nothing gets copied (or only the previous
contents of the clipboard, if it wasn't empty).
