Leopard Os:Can't use copy/paste etc. on Gmail

epakman · Mar 25, 2008

Hi,

I installed Leopard OS and download all the updates available. My OS version 10.5.2 and my Safari version is 3.1 (5525.13).

My problem is that i can't use copy/paste or making capital letter using shift etc. any short key combinations in gmail. Does anyone have any solution for that problem?

Thank you,

I just tried Gmail in the browser and it works fine. I am using 10.5.2 and Safari 3.1 also.

You might want to restart and try again? Does the C+P work in other applications or on other websites?

yes. it works fine for any other website or anything else. just gmail has that problem. I'm suspicious about keyboard firmware update. can it be related to that?

I have the self same problem, same versions etc.

I made a conscious decision to ween myself off Firefox and onto Safari this week but as I use Gmail lots this is a showstopper.

If any one comes across a solution I'd appreciate it too.

Seems to be quite common:

I'm off to see if webkit has the same problems.........
