I've done it more than you (at least once a day since we've had a shell) and
I've brought it up with Robin and Neil on numerous occasions and so has
Patrick since it also impacts the shell or anything else using wxSTC. I'll
let Robin respond once again to the list for the record. If I remember
correctly this has to do with how the clipboard is handled under GTK/X. The
clipboard from a wxSTC cut or copy will never survive quitting the app. This
really needs to be changed for 2.3.3.

I'm not sure how to work around the current behavior so the clipboard is
preserved on quit, but if there is a way I'll stick it into the component or
framework as soon as Robin or Neil says how it can be done. Even if the
solution is Windows or Mac specific it would be better than the current
behavior which is just plain wrong.

Since text from a wxTextCtrl doesn't ever get destroyed on quit AFAIK, I
thought at one point I could probably create a hidden multi-line wxTextCtrl
during the application close, paste and then copy the data. That would
qualify as a royal hack. If there is nothing special about the data object
in the clipboard, maybe we can just transform that, which would be much less
horrible.
