Hello Hussein,

we're facing issues with "Paste From Word" running the XXE 6.2 applet on a
Mac. Any help is appreciated, and since I have a Mac I'm open to provide
any feedback/input/help testing that you may need in case you don't have
ready access to a Mac. Attached is the MS Word test file. Here's the report
of my tests:

All tests done with Java8u40 (both on the server and on the Mac), latest OS
X (10.10.2), and latest versions of the browsers on a Mid-August 2014
MacBook Pro Retina. XXE applet has no customizations, only the
XMLMind-supplied addons. ND applet is XXE applet plus some minor
customizations on the UI and commands and a single AddAutoID Java
customization. XXE version used is 6.2 (latest). The Java cache was emptied
before each test run.

CLI to generate the applet:

./bin/deployxxe applet xxe-applet -keystore ~/.keystore -storepass
STORE_PASS_HERE -keypass KEY_PASS_HERE -alias Calenco -index

Note: -index option was only used when generating the applet to be served
by Apache (so there's no Calenco serving the applet like in the rest of the
test cases)

The test:

1) Open a doc in XXE
2) Open a doc in Word (Office for Mac 2011), copy some text containing
tables, lists and paras (the content structure does not really matter, it
fails also copying a single para)
3) "Paste from Word" on XXE
4) Copy some text in XXE and paste it for example in a text editor
5) Copy some text on Word and try to "Paste from Word" on XXE

Legend:
F: Firefox
C: Chrome
S: Safari
+ pass
- fail

The results (applet served by Calenco on an Ubuntu LTS 64 bit machine):

|----------| F | C | S |
|ND applet | - | - | - |
|XXE applet| - | - | - |

The results (applet served by Apache 2.4.7 on an Ubuntu LTS 64 bit machine):

|----------| F | C | S |
|ND applet | - | - | - |
|XXE applet| - | - | - |

Observed behaviors:

- Standalone XXE works OK, with no issue.
- On Firefox and Chrome, up to step 3 works OK, then step 5 has Paste from
Word disabled.
- On Safari, the Paste from Word menu, and Paste in general DOES NOTHING
(clipboard stuff seems seriously broken with Safari).
- On Firefox only, the right click menu does not work in both applets (it
"flashes" what's supposed to be the contextual menu and then such "menu"
disappears immediately).

Thanks in advance for your help.
