Copy a Shape from a PowerPoint Slide Opens B & W in XnViewM

[nullpointer]

I'm attempting to copy a shape from a PowerPoint slide and "Import clipboard" in XnViewMP version 0.81 x64 and the resulting image is B & W When the original was color.

Interestingly enough it works fine if I copy a full color image in PowerPoint and then "Import clipboard" in XnViewMP.

Even if I draw a PowerPoint shape on top of an image and copy both - they both open perfectly after "Import clipboard" in XnViewMP.

If I delete the color image and then try to copy just the shape and "Import clipboard" in XnViewMP I get the B & W image again.

Is there a setting in XnViewMP that would allow me to "Import clipboard" in XnViewMP and maintain the color?

No problem to paste in other software?
