Now I know why it happens. The selected text is converted into LF line
endings before actually copying it to the clipboard. This is done by
Scintilla. Simply skipping this or explicitly converting it to CRLF
would solve the problem, at least it did for me when testing with
Windows Notepad. I'm not yet sure whether this is really the solution.
To get some more information, I asked on the Scintilla mailing list
because it also affects SciTE and other Scintilla based applications
built on Windows with GTK. I'll keep you updated.

I think this is another problem, not related to Geany.
