I have a slight issue. I am a college student and i take online courses, i do
know this is beta so dont bother telling me that all bugs have not been
sorted out yet, anyhow... The website is trying to copy whatever i have on my
clipboard, and i get a prompt dialog, to either Allow or Dont Allow, so i
press allow because i believe it's trying to see if i copied any material
etc,... sooo Once i press allow, the prompt keeps coming up infinitely, and
be makes IE inaccessable(sp?) ... If there is a way around this, i would like
to know. Like a security work-around. Thank you.

KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

by the way, this still happens after changing security levels, and even
adding the site to the "allow" list...

Here's an example of what i am refering to, if anyone else can reproduce the
problem please post:

The website should prompt you to allow or not allow it to copy your
clibboard contents, in IE7 if you press Don't Allow, it would keep asking,
and if you press Allow it would keep asking as well, infinitely.
