Idle erases the contents of my clipboard after copying any text from the idle window, and then closing idle.

This happens on my Linux Mint 19.3 Laptop and Desktop; Windows 10 Laptop does not seem to have this issue (it has never altered my clipboard outside of me actually copying text)

Only tested with Idle version 3.6.8
