I've discovered that when I have the Shelf plugin loaded, even if I don't use it, then every time I take a "Copy" action in Microsoft Word, two new Word Bookmarks are created on the copied document items, named OLE_LINK#. (# is a number that increments.) This makes a mess of my MS Word document.

To be clear, I'm talking about the kind of Bookmarks that Word uses
internally.  This is not a browser bookmark, or anything like that.

It doesn't seem to me like a Quicksilver plugin should alter documents as a
side effect.  Is this normal behavior?

I’m sure you know Quicksilver isn’t going out of its way to alter documents.

My best guess is that Word is monitoring the contents of the clipboard and something about the metadata for the copied item makes it think it found a link. I don’t have Word, so I can’t reproduce it directly.

Does this only happen if you copy within Word, or can you copy from any application to trigger the problem?
