Description
Before r5738 the JOSM clipboard and system clipboard were separate. This made for much easier editing. Example: adding street of buildings. Draw first. Tag with building and source tags. Copy. Add more buildings, pasting tags with ctrl-shift-v. One building in the middle of the street you want to add a website= tag for, so go to browser, copy url, paste into value of manually added website tag. Add another building area and press ctrl-shift-v. Before r5738 you still had the tags in buffer. Now you get told the buffer is corrupt (as it now holds the URL copied). Many other things mid-editing section can cause the system clipboard to get used (if interrupted by emails, IRC or even w*rk), and it is annoying every time to have lost the JOSM buffer because you had to do something in another application.
Sorry, all copy/paste features now uses the system clipboard, we won't return to the old system.
