when copying a jpg image from a website into a powerpoint (2003 sp3) presentation, there are extra pixels in the top right of the image.
Tried it copying images from Internet Explorer and there was no problem. Also tried it on a MAC (Leopard 10.5.4) using Firefox (3.0.1) with Powerpoint (2008)and there was no problem there either. 

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open a website and copy an image
2.paste it into a powerpoint presentation
3.in the top right of the image (typically in the white space framing the image)you will see a few extra pixels.
Actual Results:  
pixels appear every time when pasting a jpg image from a website into powerpoint

Expected Results:  
the jpg should have been pasted in cleanly without the extra pixels

Again tried it with Internet Explorer and then on a MAC with Firefox and it was fine in both cases.

I have a similar but slightly different problem: When I Copy an image in Firefox 3 and Paste it into Powerpoint (2003 on Windows XP), a sliver of the image's left side ends up on its right side. (see attachment)

Copy-pasting from Firefox to Word works fine.
Copy-pasting from Firefox to Irfanview works fine.
Copy-pasting from Irfanview to Powerpoint works fine.

This sounds very similar to the unconfirmed Bug 425069 to me. If this also occurs on 32 bit builds then the title of Bug 425069 needs to be changed.
