Disabled cut/copy in Firefox and Chrome

Description
I've been participating in at least two dozen forums of web developers, and have thus used probably all post editors there are. In all, the cut, copy and paste functions also work when Firefox or Chrome are used. Both via the buttons and via the context menu (right-click menu) options. And in this very form that I'm using right now said matters function as well.
Not so in CKEditor (this form editor is not CKEditor). Why still not? Regarding Chrome, this seems to have been reported as bug under ticket nr. 8463. Which was closed because it supposedly was fixed. But that is not the case. And clearly, it is a bug. Because why else do all the other form editors function flawlessly in FF and Chrome?

My answer there clarifies that JS based solution isn't yet possible. So for now it's a "can't fix" ticket. When situation will change we'll create new one.

Thanks for the quick reply, which is truly appreciated.
But "can't fix" and "JS-based solution isn't yet possible" I don't understand. Just use the CKEditor post form (v.3, I believe) on Sitepoint (http://www.sitepoint.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?15-JavaScript), after having registered. And see for yourself that the said functions are working perfectly well in FF and Chrome as well.
And from what I can see, they did that by means of (deleting a) Javascript. Not with Java or Flash, because the first is disabled in my FF, and the second doesn't work on iPads.

I waited an hour for Sitepoint's email to come and nothing, so I can't use my account.

That may be because they're preparing the migration to a new forum platform, away from vBulletin. Send me a mail on f dot conijn at gmail dot com, and I'll send you either my account data or those of one I'm gonna try to create for you.

Well, let's just wait. I contacted Sitepoint's admins and yes - problems are caused by their new architecture. As soon as I have the account I'll check it.

I just created an account for you (Reinmar CKE), confirmed and all. If you would like to use that, just mail me so I can send you the password. It would be wise to not wait too long, because pretty soon the migration will take place, and the new platform might not use CKE anymore.
