I am not sure of the above. I feel it should either be: A- this (stop the copy, triggering an error) B- or remove all of the script's modifications of the clipboard data and leaves it to the "native copy" The advantage with B is that it prevents scripts that would try to prevent a copy which is important I feel. > That way a script can instead explicitly set the contents of the clipboard, if some sanitization needs to be done. I do not think this should be possible since writing to clipboard should only be doable with a copy event triggered by the environment (typically at the invocation of the standard gesture). paul
