At least, allowing to copy a bitmap image would be highly useful. As it is the only alternative is to save a bitmap &amp; paste it into office documents.<br /> <br /> Even before handling bitmaps, it should be able to take in raw text and spit it out onto the canvas when the text tool is in use. This should be dead easy but it turns up gibberish at the moment.<br /> -----<br /> <br /> ===ClipboardBehavior===<br /> This is an area to collect information about how the clipboard is currently behaving, and how it's not meeting expectations in different instances.
