Firefox and Blog's Rich Text Editor Cut and Paste Feature

Well I have finally switched to Firefox and am enjoying it, for the most part. A few things keep bugging me, though, and among them this:

When I add a new entry and try to paste some text into the entry window in Rich Text editor mode rather than HTML characters mode, I get a Javascript warning advising me that "Unpriviledged scripts cannot access the cut/copy/paste function for security reasons, click OK to see a page at Mozilla.org on how to set Mozilla Preferences allowing scripts to access the Clipboard."

I've followed the directions given here:

http://www.mozilla.org/editor/midasdemo ... prefs.html

trying to guess where to add the js since the page references Win NT and I'm using XP. I think I got it right. But still no success, Firefox or the Blog refuse to accept my pasted text.

Would this be a Blog issue or is it purely Firefox? Any feedback appreciated...

Appologies

Sorry, I just found a previous post on this exact topic, I should've searched better before posting here. I guess the issue will be taken care of in v0.8 so I'll just be patient. Thanks garvinhicking :-)

Yeah, that's true. The issue has been taken care of in 0.8, and as written in the other topic, you could also backport the new HTMLarea to 0.7 (but this requires some work...)
