There might be some problem with the paste option coded into Thunderbird.
Attempting to paste a text, copied from Tomboy is not working.

To reproduce:
1. Open Tomboy and open an existing note or create a new one
2. Open Thunderbird and choose "Write" (to write new mail)
3. Select a text from the Tomboy note, and copy it (ctrl+c, right click and choose copy etc.)
4. Go to Thunderbird and try to paste the copied text (ctrl+v, right click and paste etc.)

The text is not pasted!

Pasting the text copied from Tomboy into gedit works
Pasting a text copied from gedit into Thunderird also works

I've got the same problem trying to paste from Tomboy into Opera, I don't know how to reproduce as sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't, but I've encountered it many times now. I can still paste into gedit and even google Chrome, but not Opera. I don't use Thunderbird so I don't know if I'd have the same result as you.

I'm using Ubuntu 10.04

Using Ubuntu 10.04, when I copy text (a URL or body text) from a webpage rendered with Opera 11.01, it will copy into the To or CC field but not into body text. This does not seem to be a problem using Chrome or Firefox. I am also using Fluxbox but the problem also occurs when using Gnome as well.

Hello Petar,
Thank you for submitting this bug and reporting a problem with Thunderbird.

You made this bug report in 2010 and there have been several versions of Ubuntu and Thunderbird since then.

Could you confirm that this is no longer a problem and that we can close the ticket?
Or, if it is still a problem, could you run the following (only once):
apport-collect 651206

and upload the updated logs and and any other logs that are relevant for this particular issue.

Thank you again for helping make Ubuntu and Thunderbird better.

G
