That seems really bizarre. The script editor is just a field. Can you
select text in other fields in your stack when Thunderbird is running?
At least we're narrowing down the issue.
I think the 'issue' was narrowed down quite some time ago:
RunRev does not behave properly in Linux in very many ways.
SO: either;
1. The thing that is best left unsaid.
2. Hire a Linux expert to "hold the hand" of their developer while they
sort out all
of these problems with the Linux version molto pronto. A Linux
expert would be
able to explain all the things about how Linux works that a lot of
people all too
obviously don't understand; rather like my hiring a car mechanic to
tell me what
is wrong with my car; then, and only then, can I attempt to sort it
out. While I may
understand how to repair a 1950 Fordson tractor (well, I did in
1986), but that
isn't reaally very useful when faced with a modern Toyota.
I think this is what is called "A watershed moment".
I have benefited greatly over the years from the RunRev 2.2.1 version
that was
released via Novell as a free application; I have made well over 50 EFL
apps that
run perfectly on Ubuntu 5.10 - but mainly because they are really very
crude drag-n-drop
and gap-fill affairs. I would be very sad indeed to see RunRev for Linux
going 'down the pipe';
but Runrev have to closely consider whether they can justify the costs
and R&D time to
get an up-to-par version running on Linux.
My 'niggling' about copy-paste problems are just niggles; but after a while
a pile of niggles make for a big problem.
