RE: [h-e-w] Win2000 errant paste

[Jim Buttons]

I have been using 20.4.1 for the past several years and I have seen this
problem occasionally, but I have never been able to find a test case that
can reproduce it. That's why I have never reported it. I usually notice it
when I go to compile a source file that was edited and find
"bits-and-pieces" of a cut and paste sprinkled throughout the file with no
apparent rhyme or reason.  I am running Win2K SP2 but I have seen it with
the original Win2K, and SP1 as well. I don't have much else to offer other
than I have seen it and have not been able to reproduce it at will. I live
with it.
