Description
In the Delphi 2006 (Win32), can't copy a method from one interface to another interface. When right-click on the interface, the 'paste' of the pop-up menu is disabled.

In Delphi 7, following the same steps, the 'Paste' is enabled, and copy/paste can work.

<sysop>
The reason might actually be the copy and not the paste, since if I copy a method in D7's TLB-Editor I can paste it in BDS but not vice versa! The clipboard viewer doesn't reveal any obvious differences (CF "Borland Type Library Editor Object" present in both cases).
</sysop>
Steps to Reproduce:
In Delphi 2006 (Win32):
1. Use File | New | Other... to launch 'New Items' dialog.
2. Select Delphi Projects | ActiveX | Type Library
3. Add Interface1 and Interface2 to this type library
4. Add Method1 to Interface1
5. Right click on method1, select Copy

And then right click on Interface2, you will find that 'Paste' is disabled.

I can reproduce this and also added other findings to the description.
