Why can I 'paste' but not 'Cut' in the stupid MEW text editor?

Another rant!

I am sure I used to right click whilst entering text here and see cut and paste options, now I only get paste. Its button is greyed out too. Is it because I am in (or not in) compatability mode? is it because I have an Apple device (it take the pips out). Which computer should I buy so that I can cut and paste? Ian
