Cut & Paste Fail in12.04 No Spell Check in forum post
I just installed 12.04 and partially configured, customizing firefox etc. I attempted to cut >paste some text either to or from an archived doc to an e-mail. It balked and put up a msg cut/paste not available. What happened? A large part of what I do depends on writing e-mails in an editor and pasting to a compose mail page, or the reverse, saving e-mails as docs. I don't save e-mail in the local host folders or remote client on line. Is cut paste NOT available across some formats or applications, or was this some odd anomaly? This forum paragraph pasted OK in both txt and rtf format. Any idea what may have occurred? Spell check is invoked but this mesage does not show errorsrr?? Firefox has never failed to spell check in Windows XP. Outlook has flaky spell check in IE8 (XP) becase I won't alow ActiveX.

Weird.
Have you tried pasting with Shift + Insert?

no, but I did try ctrl-C (copy) and Ctrl-V (paste) and that works. I wonder what I did - very strange. It was shocking at that moment. Spell check SOLVED - choose a language dictionary - right click in text area
