I agree with you.   For this reason, +resize_fonts is not the default.
In fact, I had removed +resize_fonts completely, but then added it back in
by request.

Making this work more intelligently will be a larger project, and I'll do
it, but I'm going to wait til after the 0.16.4 release, because I really
want to get a release out the door.

If you use the +unix_like_copy keyword, it will behave that way
(automatically copy to the clipboard / paste on right-click)

Its not the default because Windows users found it to be confusing, but
those of us who are more comfortable with a REAL OS will use this
keyword.  :)   (ducks)
