I use a Flash blocker (ClickToFlash) and haven't experienced the copy-paste problem in the time I've been using it, although I have seen it before. -- flavio matani guitar tuition http://www.flaviomatani.co.uk http://fflavio.com

Yes, Peter, but we all know that for some reason, you seem to avoid seeing software bugs that affect everyone else in the world. > I reckon that's just a legend. Peter, your insulting refusal to accept my report of problems as real is really rather annoying. It's not a legend, it's a real problem that at least one developer forum is dealing with.

I'd not be surprised if they had something to do with the problems I see. btw, Peter: do you *really* not use anything to block adverts and intrusive Flash, or Javascripts, or cross-site access, and so on? <shrug> Security is a thing I'm vaguely concerned about. And reading Web pages at all - so many of them are totally unreadable if I let the advertising show.
