RE: win32 and linux build (both dated 1999-05-03-08) Steps: 1. From Messenger, click on New Msg to open the compose window 2. Type in To: and Subject: fields, no problem 3. Type some text in the body field, and then drag the mouse and try to high-light some text, cursor does not respond. This occurs in both window NT and Linux.

Fyi, it occurs on Mac platform too. I tried the 1999-05-07-08-M6 build.

changing platform to All. Sujay - does this occur in the general Editor? This should be fixed for M6, if possible.

should be better with the following patch: > the editor.xul file now labels its html as "content" so that will > trigger the documents selectable to be true. simon is talking to mail > guys to make sure they change the same thing. To reenable selection in mail compose, you need to do something like this to your XUL: Index: EditorAppShell.xul =================================================================== RCS file: /cvsroot/mozilla/editor/ui/composer/content/EditorAppShell.xul,v retrieving revision 1.7 retrieving revision 1.8 diff -r1.7 -r1.8 129c129 < <html:iframe id="content-frame" html:name="content" html:src="chrome://editor/content/EditorInitPage.html" flex="100%" /> --- > <html:iframe type="content" id="content-frame" html:name="content" html:src="chrome://editor/content/EditorInitPage.html" flex="100%" />

this is not a problem in the editor...just tried on latest build.

Sure enough, changing line 210 of msgcompose.xul to read: <html:iframe type="content" id="content-frame" src="resource:/res/mailnews/compose/msgcomposebody.html" name="browser.message.body" flex="100%" /> fixes both the selection problem and the delete key problem.
