Eric—my laptop has Leopard, and I am running "1.5.0_28-b04." Not sure what
difference the "b04" makes, but I don't experience the copy/paste problem.
For the rest of the listserv, another way to see this is by simply typing
"Java Preferences" into Spotlight. The version at the top of the list is the
one you're currently running.
Cheers, Mike
