- the only other Windows scenario I know where the content of the clipboard is not retained when the source program is exited is with MS Word, and only if you copy a large amount. But you do get this, "You placed a large amount of text in the Clipboard. Do you want this data to be available to other applications after you quit Word?" Options are Yes/No/Cancel.
Maybe something changed clipboard wise with Win8, and that's what Qt is addressing.
I don't have this problem, I do use some 'mature' clipboard extender gadgets. I have to wonder whether other such gadgets are the problem here. A lot of 'contemporary' gadgets look pretty, but they are often selfish in their behaviour and interfere with 'normal' operations. So maybe this problem is due to a 3rd party program - a'la the right click problem.
