Top Con

RTF bug is still present in latest Beta version

You can turn on the option to draw RTF text in the clip list, but it no longer works in Windows 10 Ditto (64bit), and the latest Beta version available today - which claims to have fixed the bug - still has the same bug. It will no longer draw RTF text as-is in the clip list. See More
