Gil,
The message means you have issued the copy command (Edit > Copy or
Ctrl-c) when there is no selection. I have no idea why double clicking the
scroll-up arrow invokes this command. You can confirm this is what is
happening my selecting some text, double clicking the arrow, setting an
insertion point somewhere else in the document, and pasting. The text that
you had selected will have been pasted.
You suggest that there are other operations you have performed that
result in the same error message. Are you using a customized version of the
FrameMaker user interface that may have erroneously mapped several
shortcuts to the Copy command?
