Are you referring to TESyncScrap?

"Typical non-Carbon apps synchronize the system clipboard with the  
TextEdit clipboard when you switch layers, i.e. bring another app  
forward. If in between copying text and switching layers the app  
crashes, or quits without synchronizing, or you're running it in an  
emulator and you try to paste in another app in the host OS, you'll  
get stale data. A similar issue pertains to pasting into the  
emulator. TESyncScrap synchronizes the clipboard just after Cut/Copy  
and just before Paste (like Carbon apps do), avoiding these issues."
