[TxMt] TM modifies/destroys the contents of the system-wide pasteboard

Hi all,

I've come across another serious TM bug :(

It appears that TM modifies the contents of the pasteboard without the
user doing the ⌘+c. If you copy a piece of rich text (or text with
image data) and you just switch to TM so its window is frontmost and
active, TM will go ahead and just strip all rich edit out of text and
leave you with just plain text representation. You can verify this if
you use any of the pasteboard history viewers. Or say you copy a large
number of cells out of Numbers and you inadvertently ⌘-tab to TM, TM
will freeze while it's messing up your pasteboard data.

Anyway, modifying system-wide pasteboard without any user input is
really bad form. Will this ever be fixed or is MacVim the only
solution for now?

Mel
