When editing nodes in Chrome, highlighting some text then trying to copy using cmnd+c causes the highlight to drop and nothing copied. Similarly, highlighting text then using backspace to delete causes the browser to go back a page rather than delete the text.

All of this is not happening all the time but often enough to be annoying and not in other browsers.

Using i5 iMac and latest version of Chrome.

Can you check if this problem occurs on CKEditor demo page (http://ckeditor.com/demo).

I've tested this and it doesn't work in demo version.
I highlighted a word to copy, but the copy icon remains greyed out.
Any help appreciated, I have a frustrated customer!!
Thanks

I also encountered the problem. It appears to be an incompatibility with Chrome, currently 22.0.1229.79 on Linux. Works okay with Firefox 3.6.24. Might notify Google of the problem.
