Details

Try copying the following text:

aaa <bbb>

Now try pasting it to another application.  Only the "aaa " gets pasted.  The
<bbb> is never copied.  The same happens for anything else that looks like a tag.

I'm seeing this on Linux, all builds starting with build 2001-01-07-08.  The
problem is not present in build 2001-01-06-06 or earlier.

Chances are, the fix to bug 56135 caused this.  ccing jfrancis.
From akk's analysis in bug 68166, it's technically a DUP.

This has been fixed in this morning's (2001-02-15) build.  So verifying
duplicate -- jfrancis' checkin is the only one that could have done that.
