You said the string is 60 - 70 thousand chars. So I figured maybe up to 
65536 works OK, and over that you are getting some kind of 
field-wrapping effect, and getting only the amount BEYOND the 65536 limit.

But it was only a guess :-) 
There are some other limits (see   docs / Topics / Containers, 
variables, etc. / Memory limits) that could perhaps be relevant.

Hello...
I have a problem that occurs about one in ten times. I have a long
string, like around 60 - 70 thousand characters. It is necessary to
remove all of the linefeeds from this string. After I remove the
linefeeds, I put the string into the clipboard.
Usually, it works just fine. But occassionally, it only places the
   

first
 

2 or 3 thousand characters on the clipboard.
Each card in my stack contains a bunch of news articles, that are
combined and given html formatting. For a given card, if it has this
problem, then it will have it every single time. But the next day, with
a new set of news articles and a new card, it probably won't have this
problem.
By sitting here and playing with one of the cards in which this problem
occurs, I have determined that the string still retains all of its
characters. 

Thus, the problem lies in setting the clipboardData to the string. Can
anyone imagine a reason why the clipboardData wouldn't take the whole
thing (but only occassionally)?
   

There's a limit of 65,536 characters in a line within a field. I wonder 
if the clipboard counts as a field for this purpose ?
