Ok, thanks Tim. My initial observations of the stability of the copper toned image in fixer were based on a test piece of the fully toned (well, over-toned) image I showed here in the thread. Of course, with the overly thick toning, a loss was not much apparent, as also clear from your description.
Now with another print, I did see loss of image density and some detail, comparable to the description of the "irreversible bleaching" you describe. So generally, it's probably not much recommended to fix a copper toned image.
I do still wonder though if there is a difference here between using a basic or acidic fixer (don't have one available, so can't test).
Well, anyway, thanks...
