--- Comment #3 from Mike Kaganski <[email protected]> --- FTR: The problem arises from the use of "Link" clipboard format, which is documented at [1]. The format uses 8-bit encoding to pass application, topic and item elements; and since they are, per DDE spec, case insensitive, and the format doesn't depend on e.g. CF_LOCALE standard clipboard format [2], we can't easily change that format to use e.g. UTF-8, without breaking other possible applications using our DDE server. OTOH, since the format is defined to terminate with two nulls, we possibly could append our custom data after those nulls, which we could tag (to avoid conflicts with other possible extensions). See e.g. the code that reads that format, at SwTransferable::PasteDDE [3].
