Hi,

BTW, one source of the problem is that QPlainTextEdit textChanged() signal is emitted by by simply highlighting a selection of even syntax highlighting. The problem is the base text in the PlainTextEdit has not changed one bit. What a silly design for emitting a textChanged() signal. We use this signal to know when to update the Preview window.

What any of this has to do with the Clipboard having something when Sigil is started is very very strange. For a while everthing worked even with things in the clipboard(), it it went back to its buggy ways.

This is so frustrating.
