I am using Windows 8.1 64-bit and this issue has been an annoyance for as
long as I can remember (at least 2 years) throughout multiple Zim
releases.

I've installed a visual clipboard viewer, "Free Clipboard Viewer 3.0" which
immediately shows the clipboard contents whenever something is copied.
I'll run the program, then highlight something in zim and attempt a copy
with "Ctrl+C".  When something is successfully copied, the viewer will show
something like the attached "ok.png".  When something is not copied, I'll
see something like "bad.png".  I can highlight some text in zim and hit
"Ctrl+C" repeatedly and see the contents of the clipboard contain nothing
somewhere between 30-50% of copy attempts.

I would be happy to help troubleshoot further since the problem is very
reliably reproducible on my environment.

Thanks,
