it's buggy, for sure.

sometimes, though, you actually ARE pasting text, but it doesn't show up until you hit 'return' or perform some other action... play around with it and see.

Uhzid,

Someone else posted some ideas about that cause of this. Apparently, when copying text, K-Meleon sometimes thinks it is copying multiple lines of text so that when you paste, the text you want goes missing. We'll check and see if there is a fix for that.

to po:
nop, nothing will make the text show up. i can't paste it into the url box, not even windows notepad. however it does allow me to paste the text in to a text box on a webpage.

to andrew:
thanks for that. and the shockwave 5 plugin doesn't work, it insist only to install to a netscape plugin directory when i point it to c:\program files\k-meleon\plugins. not a kmeleon's bug but is there a way to work around this?

Uhzid,

Make a copy of "k-meleon.exe" and rename it "netscape.exe" and leave it in the same folder as "k-meleon.exe". That will trick Shockwave into thinking you have a valid netscape executable and it should then install. Let me know if you still have problems.
