I can''t handle your black background. Please don't use it.   Being able to copy and paste text with properties is an important feature. Why should users not be able to do that?   From: Andreas Röhler [mailto:andreas.roehler@online.de] Sent: Sunday, November 19, 2017 7:03 AM To: emacs-devel@gnu.org Subject: kill- new and text-properties   Hi Emacs, when looking for a fix of HYPERLINK "mailto:29323@debbugs.gnu.org"29323@debbugs.gnu.org -- implementing a check for duplicates, not just for a repeat -- saved text-properties make the compare more difficult. Given that such properties are quite local, what are the reasons being saved in kill-ring? Thanks, Andreas
