I do. Always. And never come across any copy/paste problems, in 10.4.11 and 10.5.8. And I use it a lot. I reckon that's just a legend. -- Peter

If I was testing a product to go out and it did that, I would certainly raise it and stop it going out. But once it is out, I use what is available.

See the thread 'Apple to ban iPhone screen films?' where I did just that. In Firefox. Never fails. It's legend, I tell you. -- Peter
