It's between fox and windowses. IIRC, all clipboard manipulation is done internally via system calls - which then make the clipboard available to other apps. My guess is that some of the calls get lost because they're called in rapid succession.

I tried your code in fox under linux+wine, and it gave the correct result each time, even without the delay. I guess that whoever wrote wine isn't taking shortcuts that may exist in windows, and substitutes the API calls with linux API calls (wine is no emulator, it's a simulator, ie. all system calls are replaced with wrappers around linux code).

Now about that hair problem... I'm not sure if beer works as a fertilizer, or maybe I was applying it in the wrong place.
