This sounds like a duplicate bug but I can't find it... maybe Akkana knows where 
it is?

[Akkana Peck]

No, I haven't seen this one (there were problems previously copying entities
like <, but not stuff inside <>).  Trunk or branch?  Cc'ing noxif people.

Bug was confirmed for me on build 2000101020 but is apprently fixed on 2000101108,
I checked the copy-paste before and after upgrading.
So worksforme on 2000101108 Win32

Ah, then this was probably related to the entity problems, which are now fixed.

Marking fixed, please reopen if this is in error.
