Browser issue XF2.1 - Misaligned image when pasting from drawn-on image in Windows Snipping Tool

[Bimble]

Affected version

2.1

I used Snipping Tool and drew an area to highlight some detail and when I pasted it, a few pixels on the right-hand side were chopped off and swizzed over to the left.

The original grab and the XF uploaded result below it:



Win 10 - FF 65.0 (64-bit)

I tried to reproduce this and couldn't. Can you reproduce it consistently?

Saying that, I don't think there's really much we could do here. Generally, that image is just the data we'rd receiving. At best, we may resize the image, but we're not actually pulling it out of the clipboard through our code -- the clipboard data is mostly coming from the browser, which would generally be getting its data from whatever app put it in the clipboard. I'd be curious what would happen if you pasted the image into something like Photoshop or saved the image to a PNG and compared it against the version pasted into the browser.

Does seem to be a Firefox / Snipping Tool specific thing - at least on my laptop anyway.

I can reproduce it even without drawing.
Firefox + Snipping tools



Doesn't do it with any other snippet tool I know.

I think we can be fairly confident this is a Windows/Firefox quirk and not a lot we can do to impact this unfortunately.
