Cannot see pasted link

Running Thunderbird 59 Beta 2 in WIN 7 PRO. Found that I apparently could not paste a copied link into message body, but later saw that the link pasted successfully (it appeared appropriately in the recipient's display.) So it appears it's just that the pasted link does not *display* properly in the compose window, even though the paste is effective. (Using Cntrl-C Cntrl-V copy/paste)

No further question. I assume the failure to display will be fixed as the beta rolls along? Thank you for your reply!

Not exactly. This is the expected behavior.

Perhaps you misunderstand. Surely it cannot be proper behavior for the pasting of a link to appear to fail? I'm not saying the link target fails to appear, the actual text string of the link fails to appear...NOTHING appears in response to the paste operation.

As said before, this is what's expected. For anything else compose in HTML.

No, having nothing result from a PASTE operation is not what's expected.

What would make this interesting to someone working to make Thunderbird work well in that this pasted link which fails to appear in the original message, nevertheless appears normally in the received message and in the message when viewed in the SENT directory.

Try to start Thunderbird in safe mode. https://support.mozilla.org/kb/safe-mode-thunderbird

Is there any difference?

Running in Safe Mode makes no difference.

Then I have no idea. Or may be I still don't understand your problem.

I need to look into filing a bug report.
