Subject: Could it be single-byteness?
Date: Wed, 12 Mar 2008 00:04:20 +0100

I recently encountered similar behaviour in completely different
circumstances, but it struck me - is this bug caused by the
single-byteness of the buffer?

To reproduce:

1. Create a new buffer.
2. Make it single-byte with M-x toggle-enable-multibyte-characters
3. Write something and copy it with M-x clipboard-kill-ring-save
4. Try to paste it into Firefox with C-v

For me, nothing happens in step 4.

The same thing happpens with Brian's mouse-based recipe.  Reenabling
multibyte characters makes it work again.

Magnus
