New release of clipboardy, will fix this tonight!

Hi, just ran into this problem too! The problem is the new clipboard library clipboardy, does internaly start an executeable on windows and put the content to paste as argument to this new process. According to this comment https://stackoverflow.com/a/28452546 there is a length limitation to start up a process.

Before the change to clipboardy i think we used copy-paste, i didn’t look into how they did it but i never had a problem before!
