strange copy and paste behavior

John Alexander-7
Hello group,

When I copy an image from ImageJ to Powerpoint, it doesn't always work.
 (I use the copy to system function as well).

A lot of strange observations coming up ...

1) if I "select all" it works about 50% of the time.  on the same image,
if I select an ROI that is about 80% or less of the image, then it works
all the time.

2) when I say it doesn't work - I mean clicking paste doesn't work.
However, if I click Paste Special and choose paste as jpeg, it works
100% of the time.

3) it is not image specific in that an image that doesn't work will
often work just fine if I close and reopen it.

This might have nothing to do with imageJ whatsoever - because I am
running powerpoint via Crossover Office under Suse Linux.


It is rather annoying however - and just wanted to point this out just
in case it is on the imageJ side, perhaps in how it copies the image to
the system clipboard?

I do not think that the Copy to the clipboard has ever worked well under linux
with KDE.

You can always take a snapshot and import the file.
