copy and/or paste does not work in OS X 2.2.9.4

[Brendan Simon]

Thanks for your reply.

Is there any planned bug fix releases ??  Either OS X 2.2.9.5, or a
2.2.10 release ??

I know there is a lot of work going on in the 2.3 series, so maybe I
just have to wait for the official release of 2.3 (or is that 2.4).
Is there any 'rough' date of when 2.3 (2.4) is likely to be released ??
Are we close or far away ??

With respect to triple clicking, what I really meant was selecting all
words in a register field, as opposed to the entire transaction or
split.  e.g. selecting the all text in the 'memo' field ... so that I
can copy and paste that info to other memo fields :)

Cheers,
Brendan.
