Expected result

• Even though the cut & copy options are not doing anything (as expected) I believe that they should be disabled.

Actual result

• The cut & copy options are enabled.

Regression Range

• This doesn’t seem to be a regression (this issue goes way back to builds from 2018).

Notes

• I tried looking for a similar logged issue but couldn’t find any. Please duplicate this bug if needed.

Hi Gijs,

I didn't marked this bug as blocking the proton context menus meta since this is an old behavior (I can change that if we consider this as worth fixing for proton). I've went through the proton design documentation but couldn't find any planned change related to this.

I'm wondering if we should fix this for proton in order to align with the other browsers.

I'm actually surprised this doesn't work in any browser, but OK. I guess the platform folks would know what to do here, given the work in bug 1692673 and bug 1560032 - I am genuinely not sure.

Emil, do you still see this with latest Nightly? The Cut & Copy options are disabled for me; I believe this is the expected result of bug 1692673, so it was just fixed a couple days ago.

Looks like this is indeed fixed in latest Nightly 88.0a1 across platforms (Windows 10, macOS 11.3 and Ubuntu 18.04). I will mark it as worksforme.

Marking as duplicate of 1692673, as both were the same underlying issue of Cut/Copy being perma-enabled instead of respecting the state of the current edit control.
