• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: DUPLICATE
• Component: New Bugs

I. Steps:
 -----------
 
 1. Copy some plain text to the clipboard
 2. Launch Safari.
 3. go to www.google.com
 
 
 
 
 II. Issue:
 -----------------
 
 
 If the focus is on the search box of the Google homepage then click on an empty space on the Google homepage.
 
 Now, right-click the search box and notice that Paste is disabled in the context menu.
 
 Set focus to the search box, however, and notice that now you can right-click and select Paste.
 
 Also: Set focus to another textfield than the one you want to paste in, such as the LocationBar and now right-clicking on the search box will do the right thing (show Paste and allow you to paste into it). However, it doesn't set focus to the textfield I right-clicked on until after the paste operation completes.
 
 FF and IE both set the caret to the search box when you right-click and allow you to paste.
 
 
 III. Other browsers:
 -----------------------
 IE7 : ok
 FF3 : ok
 Opera 9.50: ok
 
 IV. Safari nightly tested: version 3.1.1(525.17 )- r34603.
 
 Not working properly on Safari.
