 This is because the test currently doesn't put any text data on the
clipboard (unlike Excel which puts it on clipboard in 23 different formats
as I just counted, including "link", "text" and "Unicode text").

 Unfortunately I wasn't able to produce it today because I have some
(unrelated and certainly due to some local misconfiguration) problems with
building LMI right now. But normally it should be enough to do just

        wxTheClipboard->AddData(new wxTextDataObject("1\r\n2\r\n3\r\n"));

(after the existing "wxTheClipboard->AddData(x);" line) but I didn't test
it yet.

 I'll try to test it tomorrow but maybe this can be already helpful to you
in the meanwhile. If you have a moment to test it, please do let me know if
it still doesn't work.

 Thanks,
