@shi@tech.lgbt @h5e@tech.lgbt 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.

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