Default Copy and Paste

It is very fustrating that everytime you want to copy and paste.

After writing a long email and you want to paste a line in to the mail, I left click and the right click, and then all the text is highlighted, and if you paste all other text is deleted.

Open a new mail, then save it to draft after you have written some text then try to get a text line from another e-mail and then try to paste it in, it does not work, 2009 and we can not copy & paste with ease it is like the first Mozilla in 1997 also could not.

Spelling check work like the wind is blowing.

Global addr book ?

No back to Kmail that works.

Zimbra looks very nice, but is the same as a Ferrai with Skoda engine, also looks good, but does not drive so well.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding something in your description but copy/paste works for me, I can type a new email then open a previous email and copy from that and paste it into the new email without problems, there's also no problems with the spell checker on my ZD. Perhaps you could give me the exact steps to reproduce the problem?

I open a already send mail, and then I enter a new email addr, then I delete the old forward header, then I perhaps go to another mail to get some text which I want to paste into the mail, then everything is highlighted light blue, and if I paste then it all goes except the pasted text.
I would love to attach a screen shoot

That still works for me, I assume you are opening the email with "Edit as new"?

OK I open a already send e-mail, thenI enter a e-mail addr, then I save as draft, then I open a received mail and copy some text, then I open the draft saved, and then I want to paste text into the mail, then it goes wrong

Steps:

1 ) re-open a already send mail and click forward
2 ) enter a e-mail addr
3 ) save as draft
4 ) open a received mail and copy some text
5 ) re-open the draft
6 ) paste the copied text
now it goes wrong
I have four computers all SuSE and one red hat all with same problem

With exactly those steps I still can't reproduce the problem on an openSUSE 11.2 (32bit & 64bit) nor a Windows XP machine running ZD 1.0.3, I've tried this with a text message and an HTML formatted email and I still don't encounter the problem you're describing.
