(Bug 149558)
This is about the small distortion in images that are copied to clipboard
by Opera.

The author of Hypersnap has looked into this and found that Opera's BITMAP
resource on the clipboard is broken, and that the DIB is fine. Most
applications use the DIB by default so that's why the distortion doesn't
show up there. Hypersnap used the BITMAP resource by default, but the
author has changed this so that it uses the DIB resource, and indeed that
works fine.

So maybe Opera devs might want to look closer at the BITMAP resource :)
