Re: Conflict with TextExpander

I am going to guess that TextExpander does part of its magic by using
the clipboard.  Which means it probably makes a backup of the current
clipboard contents, does some stuff with the clipboard, and then sets
the clipboard back to the original contents when it is done.  That
cycle would cause there to be another entry in the clipboard history,
much like pressing ⌘C would do.  If I am at all right about this, then
both QS and TextExpander are functioning as expected, and your best
recourse would be to ask TextExpander to tinker with their method.
