Bug Description

When selecting text in the Compose window header fields (To, CC, Subject etc)
and trying to middle-paste the selection, nothing comes out of it. Explicitly
copying text from the fields doesn't work either; when pasting, the previous
clipboard content comes up. This is constantly reproducible.

I can confirm this on my system too.

The only workaround is to use the keyboard shortcuts (i.e. CTRL-C to copy the selection, CTRL-V to paste the selection).

I can confirm its a problem in evolution 3.2.2 as shipped with Xubuntu 11.04

Is it really the same bug that been there since 2005 ? Don't think so, no sign of it in, eg, Evolution 2.32.2
