Yeah, windows is really annoying with how they do it. They simply encode return characters at the end of every line in the terminal and not the actual return characters in the terminal text.

The question leads me back to my original question which is "Does the application know how to copy and paste to itself". In the windows case it doesn't encode the text correctly right from the very beginning and has nothing to do with the system wide copy/paste function.
