447785 - When using copy/paste on an image, pixels from far left are added to far right

Status: RESOLVED INCOMPLETE

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Eddy Hall]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008070208 Firefox/3.0.1
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.0.1) Gecko/2008070208 Firefox/3.0.1

When using the copy copy/paste on an image, a strip of pixels from the far left of the image (from top to bottom) are added to the far right of the image. I noticed this first when the drag&drop functionality was removed from FF3 (grr) and I had to start using copy/paste to get album artwork into MediaMonkey from FF3. I then repoduced the error consistently copying from FF3 and pasting into Paint .NET and with the same IMG URL did not get the error using IE7.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Copy an image in FF3. Use one that has different stuff e.g. colour on the right and the left. http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61c8gHJxlIL.jpg is quite good as the right hand side should be a white line.
2. Paste the image into anything e.g. Photoshop, Paint .NET
3. Observe the approx 10 pixels from the left have been transpose to the right.
Actual Results:  
The resultant pasted image has approx 10 pixels from the left hand side transposed to the right hand side.

Expected Results:  
The image should be pixel prefect paste of the original.

I can confirm this bug. A work-around for the time being is to drag and drop the images into the other application's window instead of using the context menu.

Thanks for the workaround. However, drag and drop doesn't work from Firefox to Media Monkey either. My work around is setting IE Tab to open any *.jpg files in an IE tab from which both copy / paste and drag & drop work great. A little anoying, but it works consistently.

Cheers,
Eddy

Confirm this bug as well on latest stable 3.5 in Windows XP.

Always get garbage pixels on the right side of the image when doing copy/paste from browser into Powerpoint.

Not a shell integration bug. This is a core bug but I'm not sure which component so moving to Firefox -> General for triage
