Description
A pet peeve of mine for a while, that I've only just gotten round to reporting. To reproduce:
- Open up Mantid.
- Copy some text from somewhere. This can be from inside Mantid, or from another program entirely.
- Close Mantid.
- You will not be able to paste what you've just copied. It's gone.

Had a black box look around for inappropriate use of the clipboard, but did not find any.
To Test
- Start up Mantid
- do something and copy some text/ values from mantid
- Paste these to a text editor to check you really copied them
- Close Mantidplot
- Paste them again to test that they are still available.

Just come across this too; pretty annoying.

Mantid appears to be abusing the clipboard to pass data around in some places. This should probably be changed and presumably this is a hacky cleanup.
