Research direction

Start with the attached issue23760.tcl reproducer and the Tkinter/Windows issue details. Check whether the clipboard behavior on exit still occurs in current Python, then identify the relevant regression-test location; done means the reproducer no longer loses internal clipboard data and the behavior is covered by a test.
