Re: [B2-devel] [PATCH] More clipboard-related fixes for Basilisk / SheepShaver

Yes, I generally copy from the Chrome browser.

I have been using version 2.3 of SheepShaver. I do seem to recall that two
or three years ago I tried a newer version, was unable to copy from OSX and
paste in OS9 and decided to switch back to the older version. I've only
tried the latest version (it doesn't seem to have a number) for a couple of
days and very lightly at that but pasting in ClarisWorks seems to work OK.
As I indicated, previously copy and paste within ClarisWorks in OS9 failed
if I had SpellCatcher active. The latest version of SheepShaver allows me
to run SpellCatcher, an improvement that comes as some relief because that
program includes the GhostWriter back-up, a great protection against a
crash.
