it's mainly because most of the clipboard related code (I mean part of Wine putting info onto the clipboard) are using the Win32 interface, which means we cannot differentiate between CLIPBOARD and PRIMARY as X11 apps can do. See a thread a couple of weeks ago on this subject.
True, but it's courter intuitive for a Windows user. I think we're better off simply copying to clipboard on select (using the Win32 API). All consoles in X behave this way, there's no way a user can tell our console it's written for Winelib, and hence behaves differently. In fact, the user should not care what lib a console uses: a console, is a console, is a console.
