What happens when you hightlight the text you want to copy and then click with the middle button (or scroll wheel) in Open Office?
Yep, that works, why did i not think of that instead of using copy and paste from the firefox menu !!!
Probably didn't think of it because of some mistaken idea that firefox integrated properly with X and other applications like OpenOffice. It doesn't and if a distribution fixes an obvious bug, MozCorp normally start threatening licence revocation... Most of the truly free software browsers originally based on firefox are quite a bit better these days. I can remember IceWeasel and Epiphany - what else are people liking?
