Hi,
I just wanted to attach a patch to a Bugzilla via clipboard and I found
that it is not obvious at what time exactly the clipboard data is read.
Wouldn't it be better to read it right after the first step of the
attachment wizard and display the attachment preview at that time?
The reason that I stumbled across this is that I tried to copy&paste an
attachment comment as well - and got completely confused ;-)
Cheers
