> I can "X copy&paste" (what's the correct wording?)

When you mark text using the mouse that is "creating a selection".  This bug is about selecting & paste rather than copy & paste, which is a little odd.

The text body is probably a different type of control which supports more formats than the single-line entries.  Can you try selecting and pasting text from Konsole into other text controls (single-line ones and multi-line ones) elsewhere in Thunderbird and see if this only happens with multi-line controls?

> Yes.

Does this apply to Firefox as well?  Since it shares the same user interface toolkit.
