Copy & Cut command in msg popup menu

I know this is no biggy, but it always gets me. When you are type into a
msg window and you select/highlight a string of text, then right click for
the popup menu there is no copy command, now this is only annoying
when you forget that there isn't one there. Which in turn you have to
click some where to get rid of the popup then re-select/highlight the
string of text. There is a "Select All" and a "Paste" any chance you guy's
could include a "Copy" and a "Cut"

regards,CS

I can Cut and Copy Here

Ok here are some pix, interestingly enough I do get a "Copy" and a "Cut"
up in the title text boxas shown in pic 3 (I think, never can tell what
order the images will appear) but thats it.

To tell you the truth I suspect it stop working for me a few months back
when the site got a lil makeover I seem to remember. But I cant be sure
I know I used to have them in the popup menus.

But I guess if you guys have it then, there is not much I can do about it
I guess.

regards,CS

Rob

selecting text? click and drag with the left mouse button...

i think you might be clicking and dragging with your right button instead. i just tried it and the same happened.

so select your text with the left button and right click to copy/cut/etc.

I know, it's weird I mean do I really need to know the Properties of
a textbox if anything it's a lil iritating. So I finally thought I'd ask.
Btw, what do you mean "small SCM"? is it sub context menu? I just
call em popup's but then again I haven't heard call that since I
was into VB programming.

"SCM"

In Word they are called Short Cut Menus, but I prefer your definition because they are definitely contextual
