OS/2

Summary:

PROBLEM ID: PM9012008

SYMPTOMS The use of CTRL+INS to copy selected text from an entry field into the clipboard does not work with ES_READONLY (read only) entry fields.

CAUSE An ES_READONLY entry field ignores too many keystrokes, and does not support this type of functionality.

STATUS Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in Presentation Manager (PM) versions 1.21 and 1.3. We are researching this problem and will post new information here as it becomes available.
