Re: Copy/paste

Hi Simon,

What's about your investigation about this bug?
http://bugzilla.abisource.com/show_bug.cgi?id=12591

I also focus on this bug last week (it is related with my GSOC
project: Text box improvements ). In fact, most of the properties are
missing while copy & paste.

I put a long time to track the process of 'Copy & Paste'. At the very
begin, I was thinking the two reasons which cause this issue:
1. the properties missing in Copy process (Missing the property to Clipboard )
2. the properties missing in Paste process (Render issue)

But I find that the detailed implementation is very complex, so I want
to hear more about your advices, Correct me if I have sth wrong.

thanks,
Vincent
