Hi DiapDealer,

This is so strange. How can the presence of a single letter 'I' on the clipboard at launch have such an extreme impact on the text selection highlighting speed if it has nothing to do with how Qt/Sigil and the system clipboard are talking to each other.

That said unless Toxaris is right and PyQt clears the clipboard on start, I can't see any other differences. I tried this with QtCreator and the stuff on the clipboard had no impact on its highlighting speed in their text editor. So it must be how we are using it in Sigil but ...
