Re: [O] loss of text properties in org-export--generate-copy-script

[John Kitchin]

ok. I thought there might be a reason. I guess something like a read-only property could be a problem if anything tries to change those. Are there other properties you know of that could be problematic? maybe before/after change properties? I think there are inhibit-* variables to avoid issues with those if they become a problem.

I am still baffled on why the unusual workaround with message-box makes it work though.

I feel more comfortable when I can assume no text property will get in
the way.

I turned `buffer-substring-no-properties' into `buffer-string' in
"master".
