Hi !

Selecting text automatically places it in the clipboard. To reproduce this bug :

- create an empty presentation
- in the title zone (works also in the content zone) type in "aaaa bbbb"
- using the mouse, select "bbbb" (by double-clicking or simply selecting text)
- type CTRL+C to copy the text in the clipboard
- using the mouse, select "aaaa"
- type CTRL+V to paste the text from the clipboard
- the "aaaa" word is replaced by "aaaa", not by "bbbb"

or
- create an empty presentation
- in the title zone (works also in the content zone) type in "bbbb"
- using the mouse, select "bbbb" (by double-clicking or simply selecting text)
- place the cursor after the word "bbbb"
- type CTRL+V
- the "bbbb" word is appended to the line.

This behaviour appeared in the 6.3.0.1 RC, it is not exhibited in the 6.2.5.2 release.

Regression from

    fix crash in header/footer calc dialog
    
    cut and paste can happen when the EditView isn't in a vcl::Window

That replaced some GetPrimarySelection() with GetClipboard().
