Re: [Rails-devel] Report window as game history

It seems that this can be narrowed down to a problem that occurs in combination with Firefox only. Interestingly it works on my system perfectly, even copying into the web-email clients that I use (actually its is more a "do not use", I prefer IMAP clients). My firefox version is 3.6.8. A quick google search brings up: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Clipboard_not_working Especially have a look at the paragraph about the rich text client. Copy&paste is still something which is strongly desktop/OS dependent and was the main reason to keep the previous ("static") report window. If someone comes up with a suggestion how to solve that, I am happy to add the solution to the code. May I ask what the use case for this procedure is? Why not mailing the rails game file instead of the report?
