[Idle-dev] Copy buffer?

[Bruce Sherwood]

Forgive me if this is a well-known bug in Idle:

Copy something, click to insert somewhere, accidentally hit Copy again, and 
you lose your copy buffer.

In all other editors known to me, a Copy operation from an empty selection 
is treated as a null operation. I've gotten caught by this a number of 
times.

(I sent this note just to Kurt Kaiser, thinking I would annoy only one 
person instead of the whole list, then saw his note about a well-deserved 
vacation!)
