I can confirm that. Back in July I made a change to the Windows
clipboard code in response to a report from Brian Revell. It turns out
that change was misguided (it's a rather obscure API), but nobody
reported a problem with it at the time. It's now fixed in git and
snapshots.
Thanks, Allin! It's good that this was sorted out before any official
release was affected.
Will be able to test eventually.
cheers
