Pixel Wrapping Bug When Pasting Screenshots?

Postby lunker » Tue Dec 21, 2010 2:57 pm

I use the "Print Screen" key on my PC to capture screenshots, and paste them into Inkscape for further processing.

Recently, when I paste those screenshots into Inkscape, the image is offset slightly to the right, and the right-most 6 pixels of the image are wrapped over to the left edge of the image.

I have been using 0.48 since it came out, and this didn't used to happen. I verified that the image is correct when pasted into other applications (Word, PowerPoint, Paint, etc.), so it seems like it may be an Inkscape bug. But I am confused why it just now started to happen.

Has anyone else observed this phenomenon, and can tell me if there is something I can do to correct it? Or is it a bug? I swear Inkscape wasn't doing this two weeks ago. But I can't think of anything I have changed, or why only Inkscape is affected.

It was noted here: viewtopic.php?f=29&t=7400&p=28643

I've just reported it to launchpad as a bug.

Workaround is to use a 3rd party screen capture tool rather than printscreen
