   @stags @shi @h5e I think recipes to avoid formatting getting preserved on clipboard are useful, but the benefit is limited to people who are already aware it's an issue and that there's a solution.

   This really needs to be fixed universally: default of non-formatted copy and non-formatted paste everywhere, with formatting only if you explicitly ask for it at both copy time and paste time.

     @dalias @shi @h5e I think I might have a way to fix this for Linux. Will this help anybody?

     @shi @h5e Both are needed. Programs that copy should not put formatting there by default in case a badly behaved program uses it, and programs that paste should not paste formatting by default in case a badly behaved program put it there.

     This is not just a nice UX matter but a privacy/security one. C&P of formatting is an info leak side channel that exposes sources, process, etc.
