1) Open a file in the editor (textView.js) on Safari/Windows. This works fine on Safari/Mac.
2) Ctrl+A to select the whole contents of the file.
3) Ctrl+C to copy the contents of the file
4) Paste contents in another app (wordpad).

Note that only the visible lines are copied. Note also that there are weird characters at the end of the line.

The problem happens because 

event.clipboardData.setData("text/plain", "some text")

fails on Safari/Windows and returns false.

We need to run our alternative code to copy text when that happens. Same code that is used on Firefox.
