I can no longer copy text in an email, then paste as quotation, why not? I can copy and paste but I cannot copy then paste as quotation. I have tried using the shortcut keystrokes cmd-c and shift-cmd-o with no luck, I have tried using the menu items edit > copy and edit > paste as quotation, but neither works. Can anyone tell me why I am only having problems with paste as quotation?

Please do the following.

  • Restart Thunderbird with add-ons disabled (Thunderbird Safe Mode). On the Help menu, click on "Restart with Add-ons Disabled". If Thunderbird works like normal, there is an Add-on or Theme interfering with normal operations. You will need to re-enable add-ons one at a time until you locate the offender.

I have the same problem. I restarted with add-ons disabled, but the issue still occurs. I choose "Paste as Quotation." The menu item flashes, but nothing is pasted.

TB 31.0, Mac OS X 10.9.4

I've found a solution.

First, we copy it, then paste normally by "cmd+v", finally select it and press "cmd+shift+o"

I can find no bug that appear to be related, so please report a bug in bugzilla. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/ explaining the problem, workaround language version used and operating system.

Could you also post a link to any bug you file here so others, including me, can follow along in the future.
