Hi..

I have an annoying problem in a Swing based application framework, I am
working on, and hope some have a useful hint.

The way the clipboard enabling/disabling works, is that when keyboard
focus changes, I ask the ActionMap focused component which of the
copy/cut/paste operations are on the ActionMap. If the given clipoard
aciton is on the map, I enable the action, otherwise I disable it.

The given problem is that when a JTextArea is focused, the Cut action is
obviously supported, since the user can cut with the usual CTRL-X
keybinding, however the Cut Action is NOT in the ActionMap, and
therefore I disable the Action. Works fine with copy/paste, since these
are on the ActionMap. Could some kind soul tell me the difference... WHY
WHY WHY is the cut action on on the JTextAreas ActionMap?

Kindest Regards
