QClipboard different behavior on application exit for Windows and Mac

[Divy]

I am seeing a difference in the way clipboard is handled on different platforms (Win and Mac). In my application i set my own mime type and some data corresponding to that.
WIN : On application exit the data in my mime type is changed.
MAC : On application exit the data is preserved ,meaning there is no change.
I want to know why there is a difference on how system clipboard is managed for different platforms?
Any help is appreciated

You'll need to ask the designers of the respective platforms why they chose a certain behavior.

Some platforms save content of clipboards, some discard it, some discard it but run helper applications that save it, etc.

For Windows that would be Microsoft, for Unix that might be the authors of X11. For Mac that would be Apple.
