3.1RC2 noon build
- observed on hpux and solaris
- probably happens on platforms where a Browser widget is not available

- open the javadoc view and any class that has javadoc
- click somewhere in the opened class' javadoc  so that the javadoc view is
populated
- select some text in the javadoc view
- left-click in the editor
- right-click in the javadoc view and select Copy, and you'll get the following
exception:

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. As such, we're closing this bug.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
