Hi All,
I'm a relatively new user to Horde but have now installed it on two
servers and everything is working very well, so thank you to all
involved with this fine product.
On to my problem (there had to be one, didn't there?):
IMP Version: 5.0.3 (installed as part of the Horde 5.0.3 webmail package)
Server OS: CentOS 6
Client OS: Windows 2003 Server and CentOS 6
Browsers: IE 9, Firefox 18 and Google Chrome 23.0.1271.91
I don't seem to be able to select text (for copying) with the mouse
when I am viewing a text/plain email in the popup window (not the
preview panel). It just won't highlight. I have tried it on the latest
versions of Chrome, Firefox and IE (under Windows and Linux) and they
all behave the same, and I have also tried it on the two different
installs that I have of Horde and it is the same on both. If I press
CTRL-A (select all) then the page does highlight (although it then
impossible to un-highlight the text with the mouse).
If the email is text/html, the text selection works fine. It also
works fine if I view email in the preview panel (as opposed to the pop
up window).
I suspected that it was perhaps some weird javascript of css that was
causing it, or an HTML div that was overlayed over the text area of
the window, but I tried removing bits and pieces (using the developer
tools) and disabling Javascript, and I got it down to next to nothing
and it still wouldn't work.
I also grep-ed through the code for the various *-user-select css
styles that can disable text selection, and I did find it in the
default screen.css file, but I deleted all the styles when I stripped
down the html and it didn't seem to be causing it.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
Adam
