Ctrl-C also puts what appears to be rich-text (notice the <meta name="qrichtext" content="1" /> tag in the pasted HTML) into the 
clipboard instead of plain text, but only on Qt; GTK3 does not suffer from the issue. And, neither does text copied from a 
TextBox. (Sidenote: @Benoît, TextBox.SelectAll does not seem to work on either Qt or GTK3.)

Also, with text copied from a TextArea with the Qt context menu or Ctrl-C, `xclip` does not know what to do with it. `xclip -o` 
yields, "Error: target STRING not available". And, `xclip -o -t TARGETS` yields, "Error: target TARGETS not available".

TextArea.Copy() also delivers text to the clipboard.
