Clipboard Anomally [BUG]?

[MisterX]

on windows, you just cannot rely on menu shortcuts, anywhere... 

On Metacard they work though! Though the clipboard has it's issues too in MC
(like text between backslashed being stripped out! MC v2.5.1)

Launching new apps to paste into them certainly works (however, you will
loose your rev stack's selection for which another frontscript is needed)...

Lots of bugzillas since 2.1.2 have been posted but these features don't seem
to be tested for long because they go through every PC release unchecked...

I made a plugin 2 years ago to address this issue but it was ignored at
large as I remember - but it works great here! Trying to fix the html
problems of pasting out of rev also didn't work as I posted a week or 2 ago
- but that post too was ignored at large...

Regards,
Xavier
