As far as I can see the clipboard doesn't paste styles but it does 
make available the file type as well as the plain text.

If I copy from an html page (even if opened in Edit) and paste it into 
a form input field or textarea on NetSurf, then NetSurf assumes that 
it it a new html page and displays it accordingly. If I save the same 
text from Edit as a text file then it goes into the input field as 
intended. I think I've got an outstanding feature request on this.

I can't think of any circumstances in which I would want to open a new 
page by pasting it into a form field, althogh I might well wish to 
enter HTML mark-up or text copied from a web page.

I'm assuming Select includes Adjust.

Also, though this is not related to NS, if I copy a URL from the 
address bar at the top of an Oregano 1 window, and then paste it into 
a text file, I get a whole load of junk after the plain text. I now 
know that if I just drag the globe icon I get what I want.
