Hi Edward,

I don't think so. I use Linux Mint 17.2 KDE.

Leo 5.1-final, build 20151207062203, Mon Dec  7 06:22:03 CST 2015
Git repo info: branch = master, commit = 0d2b4de265f0
Python 2.7.6, PyQt version 4.8.6
linux2

Terry identified it as an encoding issue specific to Qt, but in reading 
about how to solve this it turns out that KDE reads the clipboard using Qt 
as well, so I am not sure if that is where the problem lies.

My original "idea" was to enable Leo to read text/html from the clipboard 
and then convert and paste the string into Leo depending on the @language 
of the node. For example I could copy part of a web page (which all 
browsers on linux add to the clipboard as text/html) and paste it as 
markdown into a markdown node or rst in a rst node or as plain text into 
node with no @language setting. My solution doesn't address this added 
functionality in Leo, but it does solve my specific problem, on this 
specific OS/DE.
