	I have noticed that write-protected floppy names do not get
	copied into the Clipboard properly sometimes when I use ^C (I can
	easily tell as the EDIT-menu title does not blink in that case)
	but selecting CUT from the EDIT-menu with the mouse always works...

	it does sound somewhat similar to your problem and may be related
	or identical .... no idea if this happened only in 6.x but it
	sounds likely ...
