Description Björn Fischer

When a TextCellEditor is active, the copying/pasting of text is possible. In IE 7 this works also through the mnemonics ctrl+c and ctrl+v. In Firefox 3 the copy/paste works only via the menu items (Edit->copy/paste). It should be the same behaviour in both browsers.

Some more findings: 
- The reported issue has been tested for existence outside the TextCellEditor (for example in the Text field in Controls Demo Text tab). The result is that the
copy/paste works fine also through the mnemonics ctrl+c and ctrl+v. The browser version is Firefox 3.5.1. Thus, most probably the problem is somewhere in the JFace code.
- Everything works fine in webkit browsers - Safari and Google Chrome.

This is a very annoying problem.

I noticed that in FF the element has style -moz-user-select:none;
As per https://developer.mozilla.org/en/CSS/-moz-user-select, this means that the element appears as if it is not selectable.

Hi Jordan,
though I have not tested it, thanks for the patch! 

@Rüdiger: And thanks for integrating it into M2 :)

Best regards
