MLB IDs remain when copying/saving/etc page.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

1. turn on MLB (so IDs are visible)
2. copy some text with link / save the page
3. paste / open saved page in some other browser

There should be no MLB IDs in the result…

Note: MLB IDs in saved pages can be hiddenand re-shown when opened in
firefox with MLB.

Confirmed and seconded.  From my e-mail to Rudolf:

"The one thing that really annoys me about [Mouseless Browsing] is that, when 
copying
text -- namely text containing hyperlinks -- the IDs are copied along with 
everything
else.  I doubt that anyone (with the exception of [Rudolf Noe], the developer) 
might
ever have a use for copying and immortalizing such dynamic IDs.  Would it be 
possible
for you to eliminate this behavior, or make it customizable?"

Even when ids have been disabled for a page (on-the-fly, by pressing the keypad
period [.]), when text is copied the ids are also copied. If the page is 
refreshed
(F5), the ids are not shown (the disabling has persisted, which is good) and 
they are
not copied with the text. It would be great if it wasn't necessary to disable 
ids and
refresh the page just to make the ids disappear from copied text. I'd even be 
happy
if the ids weren't copied when disabled on-the-fly (as opposed to it always 
being the
case that ids are not copied).
