Jonas, I agree it clutters the UI the same as spam pollutes email and dirt web-sites pollute the web or SSL adds a layer of unnecessary complexity to connections (even to users)... there's not enough dirt to discourage us and our users though! I bet that most will never need the only "copy text" menu-item in the edit menu. As to notice... well... they will notice when they paste that the copied text is just wrong! Or they don't care about the content they just pasted... You seem to be suspecting the most evil sites to make such things as mix words in the copy... I don't agree with this pessimism. paul
