** Description changed: I don't have the exact steps to reproduce this behavior, but any long- time user of clip-it knows VERY well what I'm about to say it true. Too often, when you select (from clipit) a previously copied item from the list it provides, it promote the wrong item to your computer's clipboard memory (AND NOT THE ITEM YOU SELECTED). I've been putting up with this BUG for years now, I'm finally reporting it and hoping that someone will go into that code and figure out why this annoying behavior it occurring. I'm quite sure you can reproduce this behavior by simply having a 10 - minute session of copying and pasting various text. After you copied 10 - or so items, try to use clip it to bring an item you copied about 5 or - 10 turns back. You find that the wrong item gets put in to clipboard - memory and you'll have to do select from clip-it twice before it - retrieves the item you selected actually selected the first time. + minute session of copying and pasting various text.

I hope some kind soul combs through the code and figures out why this happens. This is one of those bugs that you just put up with hoping it finally gets fixed, but like I said, I've been enduring this for YEARS, and it never gets fixed.
