In WebKit-based browsers, preventing the default action in cut/copy still results in the clipboard getting cleared. Ideally, the clipboard should only be cleared if the Clipboard object is "dirty". This also makes WebKit behavior consistent with IE and Firefox.

Is this still the case?

This isn't a problem for Chromium since it clears the clipboard a different way. It still affects the other ports though.
