I'm not sure you're understanding the problem that Mel described.
(1) Open a TextEdit document. (2) Add a few lines of text and then style some of them: make one italic, one bold, one a different font, one centered. (3) Copy these lines with Cmd-C or the edit menu. (4) Paste them onto the end of the document just to verify that you get back what you copied, with all the styles. (5) Switch to an open TextMate window. Don't do ANYTHING. Just switch
to it.
(6) Switch back to TextEdit and hit Cmd-V for paste again. (7) The pasted text will have lost all of its styling.
Doesn't happen for me. Step 7 gives styled text.
But it happens for me, too -- TextMate 1.5.10 (1623), Mac OS X 10.6.6. Admittedly, if I would've found that bug, I probably would have thought that it isn't TextMate's fault but rather that PTH Pasteboard (a clipboard history manager that I use) is screwing something up. But it only happens when switching to TextMate (not on other applications) so I guess TextMate IS involved.
This bug doesn't bother me a lot, since I use PTH Pasteboard I always can go back to the previous clipboard entry (the styled one) -- after all, that's what a clipboard history manager is for. ;-) But I agree that this is bad behaviour.
Kind regards, Tobias Jung
