I am sure I am not the only one here who feels that some people, BIGHYPE *hint* and others, need to tone their attitude down. Being an ass, doesn't help anyone.
@Joshua Kehn & @Watts Martin: Let's please keep this list related to helping people with TextMate, not useless ad hominem attacks. If someone reports a bug, you don't need to say anything unless you can confirm it or say it isn't currently affecting you. "This bug doesn't bother me much, so keep quiet" is not an acceptable answer, and if you post some advice please be ready to follow it yourself.
That being said, I can confirm that I am not experiencing the clipboard bug. I can copy rich text from TextEdit and paste it into TextMate, then paste the still-rich text anywhere else I like. Therefore I'd say that TextMate is NOT screwing up the clipboard so it must be something else.
Cheers! Brandon

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

Never really was one for copying rich text. Causes more hassles then it's worth in my opinion.

Uh? Neither Joshua Kehn nor I wrote the section you quoted above, Mark Jackson did. I know I certainly don't take Joshua's disapproval of styled text as a personal attack, and I hope he doesn't take my feeling that styled text is actually important as an attack on him.
I never stated that. Ever.
For the official record I can duplicate the bug. I just don't make it a habit of tabbing into my plain text editor before pasting rich text into another application.
