 * Josh, version 1.73 has caused copy & paste to stop working in TinyMCE.
 * I am using the latest trunk, 19998, and WP MultiSite.
 * Highlighted text cannot be pasted into a post. At first I thought it was the 
   WP changes to TinyMCE, but I deactivated Ultimate TinyMCE and copy & paste started
   working again.
 * It has something to do with copying any text with an image in it. The image seems
   to break it. An individual image cannot be copied and pasted.

 * I reverted back to Ultimate TinyMCE 1.72 and everything is working again.

 * Hmm.. I’ll have to play around with it and see what’s going on.
 * I didn’t modify these buttons at all… but it’s certainly possible I missed a 
   bracket or something.
 * I’ll look through the code and see if I can replicate the problem.
 * Have you tried using ctrl+V to paste? Are you able to paste an image that way?

 * I didn’t try that way. I would have to go back to version 1.73 to find out. I
   switched to version 1.72 just to get it working.

 * Okay, lemme experiment with it and I’ll post back later tonight.

 * Thanks.
 * Some more info for you. I had the “cut”, “copy” and “paste” boxes unchecked. (
   I use the copy & paste functions from Firefox for that. And that is the way I
   was doing it before version 1.73 of Ultimate TinyMCE.)
 * Also, I tried copying and pasting from several different news sites to make sure
   it wasn’t a problem with the site.
 * But when I changed back to version 1.72 everything returned to normal.
 * I’ll try to do a comparison of the code between the two versions and see if I
   can spot something.

 * Thanks Ron,
 * Go ahead and give version 1.7.3.1 a try.
 * The google maps was causing some features of tinymce to behave abnormally. I 
   haven’t isolated the cause, so I went ahead and removed the google maps temporarily
   and released a new version.
 * See if this fixes any issues you had.
 * I also noticed the emoticons were not saving and displaying properly.
 * As far as I know, everything should be behaving normally now.
 * I’ll continue to work out the bugs on the Google Maps and implement it in a future
   update.

 * Thanks Josh.
 * I think you found the problem. I installed ver. 1.7.3.1 and tested a couple of
   sites. Everything worked fine.
 * I’ll do more testing tomorrow and see if there are any problems, but it doesn’t
   look like there will be.
 * Maybe this will fix the problems others were having also.
 * Ron
