I've run into similar clipboard weirdnesses with the Livecode clipboard. Go
figure. Someone wrote a Clipboard Inspector stack that may prove useful in
finding out where things are going wrong. Also note, that Microsoft products,
specifically Office products use their own clipboard format that may be
incompatible (at present) with the Livecode clipboard. It is my understanding
that a translation should take place when switching from a MS app to other
foreign apps, and in the case of LC, I suspect the translation is not taking
place.

I have for a long time pasted text copied from other programs to a field by

set the htmlText of [destination chunk] to clipboardData[html]
After a recent upgrade to Windows 7 and Internet Explorer 8 this does not
work for text copied from Internet Explorer; pasting yields a few commas or
dashes instead. If I first paste that text to Notepad, then select and copy
it again, my script pastes correctly. [this is in Rev Media 2.9]
Does anyone have the same problem or a remedy?
Many thanks.
