Summary: Clipboard Cleared on Close

Initial Comment:
When you close IDLE (under windows at least) any 
clipboard selection is cleared. This is non-standard 
behaviour.

I often open a script with IDLE in order to copy 
something, select and copy it and close IDLE. When I 
come to paste it in another window - the clipboard has 
been cleared.

Most other programs leave the clipboard contents intact 
even after closing.

I believe this is a Tcl/Tk issue, outside of Python.  Sorry.

I've also bumped into this.  It's annoying.  Am not sure
whether it is a Python issue, IDLE issue, or Tkinter issue.
 If the latter, there is likely nothing that can be done
about it.
