Hmm, I think it's actually a Microsoft bug - I see the same behaviour in
Wordpad and Word 2K3, but it's only apparent when pasting into another
rich text editor.

I start Word, and type 'Hello', with no quotes, and no trailing carriage
return, then hit Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C to copy to the clipboard. I then paste
the text into Notepad, and see 'Hello', with no trailing CR. I paste the
same text into Wordpad, or Word, and a CR is appended.

And in case you were wondering, we use the wxTE_RICH flag to allow the
control to hold more than 64KB of text (though I do wonder if that's
actually still required).
