Sometimes when I copy text to the clipboard, activate the QS clipboard

history into the Quiver <http://happenapps.com/> app, this happens.

Does anybody know why this happens and how to prevent it?

I’ve always wondered why QS tries to do [so much][1] to the copied data. I’m sure there’s a reason. I don’t see anything that would base64 encode though. Maybe the source app adds that as one option and QS is throwing away the others that you actually want? Hard to say without more info.

I assume this only happens if the item in question is somewhere in the clipboard history other than the top (most recent) spot?
