The trade-off is that we *always* lose rich content: for example, if you copy some bold text in LibreOffice, when you paste it right after it will be unformatted text; or, if you copy a bookmark in Firefox, you won't be able to paste it in another bookmark folder. + +To disable this behaviour, you must give up persistency-after exit by passing the `-P` option to `clipman store`.
