Sorry for followup to my own post. Seems like the bug is in the mswindows-get-clipboard function, which if I'm not mistaken copies the current selection into the clipboard if there is one - and it shouldn't do it. I can't be too sure as the problem seems to lie in the select-msw.c file, and I do not understand the code there. In particular, there is a new (in b15) function mswindows_own_selection which obviously is invoked by something, but I couldn't find any reference to it in any other sources... Can somebody who knows that code (Andy Piper?) please take a look at it? Thanks.
