The cut/copy/paste commands in the VE context menu don't actually work on the "context" (whatever is right underneath the mouse cursor).

Try this for cut/copy:

1. Place several widgets on the page.
2. Select one of them.
3. Right-click on a **different widget** than was selected, in order to show context menu.
4. Select **cut** or **copy** from context menu.
5. **Paste** somewhere else in the page.

Notice that the select widget, rather than the one which was right-clicked, gets cut or copied.

---

**Paste** is a bit different -- when selecting it from context menu, it brings up the cross hairs, allowing you to click somewhere in the page to complete the paste action. But that is unnecessary, since the user has already selected that location when right-clicking.
