Description

Hi
I discovered that QGIS has trouble exporting table data via the clipboard. Steps:

1. Open a table from the layer list
2. Select all
3. Copy
4. Open Excel or a text editor
5. Paste there

The result is the correct number of rows, but all of them containing data from just the first row.

QGIS 2.14.0, 64 bit
Windows 7, 64 bit

I should add that this is a virtual layer. Also, doing "Save as..." to a CSV file produces correct output.
