I've never run into such a bug, nor has it been reported. How can it be reproduced? Had it been reported, it would have been looked at of course.

With or without a bug, removing useful functionality is completely unnacceptable. You would be understandably pissed off if a feature you used was removed, and I would ensure the author reimplemented it, or rollback the change. Bug aside, please fix the copy to clipboard to match what was there.

EditGrid is untouched.
copying of arbitrary groups of cells did *never* work correct. The
current implementation will omit cells if it doesn't know how to handle
it. This is not acceptable: The ctl needs to be rewritten to not accept
selections that can't be executed.
As I already may have mentioned earlier, I don't intend to spent time on
the crappy wxGrid. So if anybody else likes to do so, he/she should pay
attention not to change the ctlSQLResult interface for that.
