Comment (by jfuhrer):
Sure, though I'm not quite sure of what exactly copying an entire journal
entry to the clipboard should be doing. The HIG isn't quite clear on it -
I'm assuming that it just attempts to copy the entire contents of the
activity you were working in - copy all text if you were working in Write,
the whole image if you were working in Paint, etc. Either way, though, the
creation of a blank icon with no indicator of the type seems problematic.
When I found the problem I simply typed "Test" into Write, closed the
activity, looked at the Journal entry for my Write, did "Copy to
clipboard," and then tried to paste the selection back into Write. So,
unless copying a journal entry to clipboard doesn't do what I think it
does, it should have no problem pasting text into Write. If copying a
Journal entry does something more complex, then, well...it needs an icon
of its own at the very least.
