[Openmcl-devel] Hemlock seems to strip chars from the clipboard when deleting

[Toomas Altosaar]

Andrew,

If I spend some time investigating this (this will probably take a 
few days for me) I might be able to tell you whehter a ticket was 
filed or not for this issue, and whether it is still open. I have 
never used Clozure's ticket system and don't know where it is lcoated.

Do you want me to do this?

Toomas
