#5097: copy text from write to another activity does not work

 Priority:  high       |   Milestone:  Never Assigned
Component:  sugar      |     Version:

 Copy text from write to another activity using the ctrl+c and ctrl+v
 commands does not work.

 Steps to reproduce:
  - select text in write and hit ctrl+c
  - the clipboard entry will be created
  - open browse and try to paste the text in the url-entry using ctrl+v

 This happens as well when you try to copy text from write to chat. It does
 not happen when you copy text from browse to chat or vice versa.

 The output of the clipboard shows the following log when the entry from
 write is created (collected on sugar-jhbuild) but the error occur as well
 on 641:

 I guess the problem is due to the rtf format. The entry in the clipboard
 does as well not display any option to open the entry. Other clipboard
 text entries does come up as UTF8_STRING, COMPOUND_TEXT when you copy them
 (from browse, from chat).

 Not sure yet if the problem is in sugar or in abi. Since it is an
 regression I mark it as high and would consider for update.1
