Bug Description
Users can't use cut and paste in Evolution's preview window.
Reproducible Steps:
* Launch Evolution
* Select the Mail button in the left side navigation bar
* Select an email. It will show in the preview window
* Select some text.
* Hit either ctrl+c or use the copy item from the Edit menu.
* Open gedit or something that can receive text
* Paste
>>>>> Nothing. In fact, there's nothing on the clipboard. (Check that by
inserting the cursor in gedit and selecting the Edit menu. Paste is disabled
because there's nothing on the clipboard.)
Workaround: You can cut and paste only when the email is opened.
Impact: People think cut and paste doesn't work in Evolution. (I didn't for a
short while.)

that works fine here. With Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V or with a selection and middle click in
gedit. Do you use warty or hoary ? Do you have the issue with other applications ?
