Description Veronika Irvine CLA 2005-04-22 12:00:41 EDT 
Sometimes it is very expensive to provide the data being set on the clipboard. 
Also, it is wasted effort if no one pastes the data.

Clipboard should have a mechanism whereby data types can be placed on the
clipboard and the actual data does not need to be provided until requested.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
