Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Clipy/Clipy/issues/275

I have an excel file that has 4483 rows in it and am trying to copy/paste one of the columns. When I paste the column into some applications, extra characters are inserted:
.

The right side of the image shows the original excel, and the left side shows it pasted in Notepad++. This also happens when I paste in some OSX program, not just across the VM boundary.
I "Move to Trash"ed Clipy, but now my Copy/Paste functionality is still messed up. These issues did not occur before I installed Clipy.

If anyone can tell me how to restore my mac to a pre-clipy state, that would be great :)
