Not entirely true:

On my Linux box, running XFCE as my desktop, I find I can copy-paste 
from the LC scriptEditor into LeafPad (the XFCE basic text editor)
and then, from LeafPad into whatever else.

However, I seem unable to paste directly into anything that features 
formatted text, such as LibreOffice.

So, like so many things in LiveCode: Good in parts, and terribly 
inconsistent.
