Im using Outlook 2002 on a Win2k pro SP2 5.00.2195 too. Nothing strange happened. --- Fabio Moraes fabio.gestecat_private +55 21 2519 2099 -----Mensagem original----- De: npcompleter [mailto:npcompleterat_private] Enviada em: quinta-feira, 28 de fevereiro de 2002 08:05 Para: vuln-devat_private Assunto: Strange behaviour in Win2k Hi all, When I was viewing emails using Outlook 2002 (aka Outlook XP) on a Win2k pro SP2 box (Version 5.00.2195), I noticed something strange. A message mentioned a URL. I selected the URL and copied it to clipboard using Ctrl+C keyboard shortcut (and later, using Copy command in the context menu,) that's when something happened. I tried to move the cursor to the system tray, but the cursor refused to move a millimeter below the status bar, or it moves for 1/10 second and it gets back above the status bar as if it was locked there. When I waited for a few seconds, everything went back normal. I copied different text to the clipboard, the cursor moved normally. I copied the http://xx.xx.xx.xx/ part only (without filename), the cursor refused once again. I tried different text containing "http://" and got the same result, even with a few leading and trailing spaces. I tried to copy the text and waited for about 7 seconds (On PIII 450 MHz with 256 MB RAM), everything went normal. The same behaviour happened whenever I copy the "http://" part from anywhere (browser, text editor,...etc). Could anyone replicate this? Does anyone think this might have any (possibly security) significance? P.S. This happened more that once, but sometimes I restart my Outlook and it doesn't happen! Cheers NPcompleter
