xnview, thank you for that amazing program!

I also have an issue with clipboard - can't paste selection nowhere (except Krita).

An example with Skype 8.71.0.49.

A lot of time has passed and I'm still suffering from this problem. I think I've figured out what the problem is. You should have paid attention to the last point about flushing the clipboard buffer. My guess is that the MP version does not complete the output stream when it saves an image to the clipboard. The problem people are pointing out in this thread happens when this case:

1. Select the cropped area in the MP version.
2. Ctrl+C.
3. Ctrl+V to Discord or Twitter.

However, if you quit MP after copying, the stream completes and you have a right image in the clipboard, and then when you paste it, you can paste the cropped image as intended.

1. Select the cropped area in the MP version.
2. Ctrl+C.
3. Exit the MP version.
4. Ctrl+V to Discord or Twitter.
