Its been around for a long time, at least for me. I haven't had the
guts to complain about it, even though it is rather annoying.

I personally like the X11 style copy/paste. (even though it does not
conform to Win32 standards) A quick fix would be to release the
clipboard after the mouse button is raised. I assume thats all that
would be needed anyway. A few applications crash due to it, cannot
remember which ones, but most generally, Windows applications don't
expect the clipboard to be bound.
