*Jaap*, I tried "Free Clipboard Viewer 3.0" just now ad on the very
first try when I copied to the clipboard it looked like Steve's
"bad.png". There was actual HTML data in the "HTML Format" and
"text/html" fragments, but there was no plaintext fragment. Thus,
when I paste to a plaintext widget in another program, there is
nothing to paste.
After repeating the Copy command on the exact same selected text, I got
plaintext.
I am going to try to build a 64-bit package tonight from the unreleased
0.66 code and see if it behaves any better (assuming there are 64-bit
builds of all the dependencies which I can use), but I'm not expecting
it to change anything.
