it is your right to vote as you want and what your personal opinion is.
 But as I mentioned earlier it would help us if concerns are more
detailed and more qualified that we can take it serious.

I can only guess that you mean the problem regarding Windows 8 64 bit
and here several people tried to reproduce the issue but nobody was able
to reproduce.

For me there is no copy/paste problem at the moment with the RC.
