Clipboard madness

Yesterday i was BATTLING against a stack who wouldn't copy paste 
information from a field to ultraedit... I tried all keyboard combos,
and even the menu - just i wouldn't copy anything... maybe it's due to the 
environment i run this into: it runs on a windows 2003 server
which has 4 metaframes opened, 4-8 RDP windows (terminal services), Notes 
(biggest crap mail client you could find in the galaxy),
and FireFox (who doesn't know how to copy paste any better...). I managed 
to make this work via a button: select text of fld x, copy!

So why doesn't the menu or keycombos work?

Today, when i copy the line from any program

emcacl \\server\fs$\userprog\xxxxxxx /t /c /y /q /g "SYSTEM":F 
"OAAD\xxxxxxx":C

and paste it into a field (or scripteditor) and what i get is:

emcacl \\\\$\\/t /c /y /q /g "SYSTEM":F "OAAD\":C

Tested in Rev 2.6, Metacard 2.62...

3rd bugzilla entry today... Rev should sponsor those who do their 
beta-testing - but i get the feeling this is an persistent problem ;)

The big question: Is this in windows only? 

I'd like to see if any of you Mac users also have this problem before i 
enlarge further the zilla list ;)

If this was a compiler problem, how many sins would it imply? ;D

cheers
Xavier
