Description
In the documentation of QClipboard it is noted that:
"Windows and Mac OS X does not have the concept of ownership; the clipboard is a fully global resource so all applications are notified of changes." [grammar error: does -> do]
However, on Windows the function QClipboard::ownsClipboard() can still return true. This is because internally the check "OleIsCurrentClipboard(d->iData) == S_OK" in QClipboard::ownsMode(..) is used to determine the 'ownership' of the clipboard.
This seems to contradict the above note that Windows does not have the concept of ownership. If it doesn't contradict each other, it is at least misleading.
