Why does copying from the MATLAB 7.0 (R14) Command Window and pasting into a text editor on a Solaris machine not work?

1 view (last 30 days)
I am using MATLAB 7.0 (R14) on a machine running Solaris, and I would like to copy and paste text from MATLAB to a text editor. For example, I apply the following steps:
1. I highlight text in the MATLAB Command Window
2. I middle-click back in the MATLAB Command Window.
3. I then middle-click to paste in the text editor.
The copied text does not appear.

This bug has been fixed for MATLAB 7.0.4 (R14SP2). For previous versions, read below for workarounds:
There is a bug in MATLAB 7.0 (R14) in the way that middle clicking handles the pasting operation. To work around this issue, use the Edit->Copy and Edit->Paste options from the menubar.
