I recently experimented with upgrading to 4.0, but was not succesful. It
turns out that version 2.6.1 can access items from the clipboard that 4.0
cannot access. Two things happen - for copying from some webpages, the
clipboard appears empty in 4.0 but has content (HTML information) in 2.6.1.
The second problem is that for copying from some webpages, the text portion
of the clipboard is populated with html information in 4.0, but is populated
properly with straight text in 2.6.1.

The clipboard function was changed some time ago to specifically return different aspects of its content. It's now an array. You can retrieve the content in any specified format that the content may contain. There is more in the dictionary, but for text:

 the clipboardData["html"] -- gives the html content
 the clipboardData["text"] -- gives plain text content

There are other options too. If you use the function without specifying an array element, plain text is returned as the default if it exists.
