LC Bug: Copying an Image fails

[Tom Glod]

 Hey guys.....

There are a few issues around windows clipboard and images. I ran into them
ALOT when i worked on the Toolbox application.

I (reported bug also).  https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=21543

This probably won't help..... but  there were times when I had to figure
out which key to read from the rawclipboarddata

Put it in an image control and then export it out from there...... thats
how i avoided some of the crashes and glitches associated with clipboard
and screenshots and windows.

If any of that seems useful I can check the codebase for the exact steps.

Cheers,

Tom
