Bug Description

Binary package hint: evolution

When I display my Memo view, click on a memo, the preview display on the below view is correct. But if I click the print button then I got the print out of the list of the memo, not the content of the currently viewed and selected memo.

Also, text inside the preview can be selected but can not be copied/pasted.

I am not sure if this is a bug or the intent to work this way.

Thanks,

Pedro,
About the printing: I found out that if I click the Print button on the tool bar then it will print out the whole list of the memos. But if I right click on the particular memo and then choose the "Print..." option then it will print out that particular memo. I guess I must read the Evolution manual then.

As for the text selection, it is easy to reproduce. Just select the memo and down in the preview window, select the text. After that I click the "Copy" button on the tool bar, I expect the selected text will be in the Copy/Paste buffer but it is not. I can not open gedit and paste the text. Also, right clicked on the selected text does not offer any pop up menu as it does for other text selectable components such as email previewer.

you should only describe one issue by bug, it seems that the printing one is not a bug, the copy issue one though
