Browser clipboard copied but disappears immediately? The web browser that comes with my phone (Nexus One) allows selecting and copying web page content to clipboard, through the Settings menu ("select text").

The problem is that when I select and copy web page to the clipboard, I receive a confirmation message: "Text copied to clipboard" but... the clipboard is still empty!

How is this possible?

I downloaded from the Android market the free Clipboard Viewer app so that I can see what's in the clipboard and it shows no data in clipboard.

What am I doing wrong?
Try actually pasting it.  You could try the often-built-in Memo app, GMail, Email, or something like Docs to Go if you want to save it.
