Forum Glitch with copy and paste

So I've discovered a glitch with the forums that I'm not sure if anyone else is experiencing...

If you copy anything from the posting window while creating a new discussion or if you paste anything into this window, it causes a message to be displayed saying "are you sure you want to navigate away from this page? Your content will not be saved." when you press the Post Message button.

I have a habit of hitting select all and copy when I'm making posts just incase anything goes wrong. If I do that on these forums, I cannot post and loose all of my info.

If I try to paste in a link from the clipboard, the same thing happens.

I thought this is something quite serious that I should bring to everyone's attention.

This happens in both IE 8 and Firefox 3.5.7

The only thing remotely similar to what you are getting (same message, but that's about it), is if I hit the wrong mouse button. In my case, it's just OE. I can Copy & Paste liberally, from about anywhere, to anywhere. It was that way with IE7 and now with Chrome. Copy & Paste are two things that DO work for me. Now with Chrome, I've not had any of the old issues with Block Quotes of Copied & Pasted text.

Good luck,

What does not work is, for example, Copy with right mouse-click, which I do all the time elsewhere.

Just pasted in the above text with CTRL + C and CTRL + V... lets see what happens.

ummmmm... ok then. Its not happening anymore. Very weird. Last night was the only time I experienced this so I just thought I'd mention it incase they changed something.

There are a lot of problems with the forum software, especially the reply box, but I cannot reproduce what you describe. How are you selecting and copying?

The above was copied from your opening post using Ctrl+C, and pasted in here using Ctrl+V. I am using Internet Explorer 8 under Vista, and now I'll try posting this.

Addition after first posting: No problem.
