+  // 3. less flakyness with selection and copying which **might** occur if
+  //    the textarea element is not visible.
+  //
+  // The likelihood is the element won't even render, not even a
+  // flash, so some of these are just precautions. However in
+  // Internet Explorer the element is visible whilst the popup
+  // box asking the user for permission for the web page to
+  // copy to the clipboard.
