I've noticed that copy & paste between Carbon and Cocoa, while it sort
of works, is generally broken.
* Create a document with the Simple Text Carbon demonstration
application in /Developer.
* Put some bold, itallics, etc.
* copy
* start up TextEdit.
* paste. You get it without font attributes (at least, I do).
What's worse, though, is if you copy from Microsoft Word office:X (a
Carbon application) into Mail.app (a Cocoa application), you frequently
don't get all of what you are pasting. Or the past deletes information
from the Cocoa TextView.
All of this wouldn't be annoying if there were simply no Carbon
applicaitons. But they are going to be around for a long time. And right
now, it's easy to envision people complaining to me that my application
don't handle copy-and-paste correctly.
What to do? Is Apple fixing this?
