The "\" character is doubled when copied

[AlexValue]

Description

The "\" character is doubled when using the extension in certain ways.

Problem Explanation

The "\" symbol is doubled when called multiple times from the Pano clipboard history. To make the bug appear, you need to alternate calls to "\" and any other text.

Expected Behavior

Pano should not double the "\" character. Instead, the character should be copied unchanged.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Copy "\" to the clipboard
2. Copy "Any text" to the clipboard.
3. Open the clipboard history in Pano
4. Select the saved entry "\"
5. Open the clipboard history in Pano again
6. At this point, you see that the entry "\" in the Pano clipboard history has turned into "\\"

This is a duplicate of #196 and #107 and is fixed in #266.
Unfortunately we haven't published a version with this fix on EGO, so you need to install the extension manually, to get the bugfix. See here for some instructions (or here )
