 Could you please test the attached patch? It limits the copied

And what is the problem that the middle mouse button doesn't pste on Windows?

I think being able to paste with the middle button is great, and I would really like that behaviour in Windows as well.

This is a clear consequence of Abdels patch but it doesn't harm since on Windows no program I know does paste via via the middle mouse button. I also don't think that we need to have "Unix feeling" on Windows.

With this reasoning we could you just skip LyX for Windows completely. After all, LaTeX/LyX and programs that work are kind of "unixy", aren't they ;-) ;-) ;-)

To be more serious, why should we restrict Windows users from functionality we appreciate elsewhere? If nothing else, it'll be more work documentating a LyX that LyX behaves differently on the different platforms.
