Steps to repro:
1. start mozilla
2. copy the url or text in a displayed page.
3. paste into any text editor to see what it copied (should be what you expect)
4. copy text from some other application to the clipboard
5. repeat step 3
6. exit mozilla
7. repeat step 3
Expected results:
Steps 5 and 7 should have identical results (and should be different than 3).
Actual results:
Step 7 is the same as step 3 less the last character.
Exiting mozilla causes it to place what it last copied back onto the clipboard
overwriting what any other app has placed there. And the last character gets
chopped.

Worse than that, on Win98, using today's verification build, I lose the entire
clipboard buffer on exit, regardless of which app put it there.

on win2k, it is still as sean describes with today's win32 build (i.e., not
only is the clipboard overwritten by mozilla on exit, but that last character
is still truncated).
on win95, I see what trudelle notes above (clipboard is empty on win95 mozilla
exit).
(For completeness, Mac and Linux (both clipboards) do not show either variation
of this problem).
