_HOLD THAT THOUGHT_ - I have a feeling it's something else overwriting the clipboard...  
v8.3.0

Occasionally when copying component keys (for example objects) in Perspective in the Designer, it will copy `[]` to the clipboard instead of the actual data. I've never seen this before in v8.1. I have only tested this with `object` data type keys, not with `arrays` or `values`.
