Cut and Paste a url

[krazyuser]

Well, I'll be darned if I can figure it out! Was working and now--just won't. I try to copy a url from the browser address window to paste it into anything; an e-mail or a document, and it just won't go in. Anything else wil cut/paste, but not a url. From clipboard, the url is there, ready and waiting to be pasted, but---nope. Any body ever seen this and know where the on/off switch is? Thanks for your help.

When you say it doesn't work, what doesn't? How are you cutting and pasting it?

[krazyuser]

I've tried all these: Ctrl C, Edit/Copy, Right click/Copy, and for paste have tried all these: Ctrl V, Edit/Paste, Right click/Paste. None of these paste operations will paste anything into the target, no matter what the target is, i.e. document, e-mail, etc. The Copy function works because I can see the url in clipboard viewer, but it won't paste. As I said, regular text, even from a web page, will copy/paste without any problem.

What browser are you using?

I have never heard of only URLs not being able to be pasted. Sounds very weird.

Try cutting it, will it work that way?

No, it won't. It didn't. Rebooting did the trick. too simple
