I am against modifying the clipboard on close of a dialog, please revert

Q1: How often do you go into the About dialog?
A: Certainly never for normal day-to-day programming tasks. The About
dialog in simply just for show in most cases, so lets give it
something useful to do.
That doesn't matter. A dialog should do what is is supposed to do, so no
additional under the hood actions. That means *not* alter the clipboard
without user action. period. no discussion.
Q2: Why do you go into the About dialog?
A: To admire you name in the Contributors list. :-) 99% of the time
it is to see what version (and revision) of the IDE you have. And when
do you normally use that information? Probably quoting it in the
mailing list of Mantis bug reports. It's really handy having that
information copied to the clipboard.
Yes I agree on that (and I agreed the first time too). It is only *how*
it is done. Thats why I proposed to add a popup.
