Re: [bug #3878] copy and pasting non ascii text

[Fred Kiefer]

This is caused by the current implementation of the RTF parser that is 
not able to handle Unicode characters. For the copy operation the 
attribuited text gets converted to RTF and at the paste back into a 
NSAttributedString, which in this case fails.
There were some discussions about a new implementatin of this parser 
some months ago, but I did not hear anything recently.
