I have tried this on my machine: Kinetic RicsPC, RO 6.16 Impression Publisher 4.13 Netsurf r9799 (09 Jan 2010) I cannot paste text copied from IP either into the URL bar on Netsurf or into the Open URL window. I can paste it into a text input field on a web page, and I can paste the same text first pasted into Edit and recopied. However if I set the file type to ImpDoc (&bc5) in Edit then I can't copy and paste into the URL bar. Maybe Edit doesn't recognise ImpDoc when you paste into it and sets the file type to Text, or it does recognise ImpDoc and changes it anyway? I suspect that it allows certain file types like html and sets everything else to text. Incidentally with Oregano 1 I can't paste text from IP into the Open URL window but I can paste it into the URL bar. So I think you're right and this is something that needs to be tackled in RISC OS. -- Richard Porter http://www.minijem.plus.com/ mailto:[email protected] Confidentiality statement: Imagine 50 lines of pointless verbiage.
