I am with psychomaniac189 here

I use the printscreen function A LOT in my work, and I usually PASTE what I printscreened to the instant messaging channel/group/work community I am at. 

It has been a few days that I am UNABLE to PASTE the images I printscreened. IT SIMPLY DOES NOT WORK. it only saves to dropbox, but does not show in clipboard. period.

PLEASE FIX THIS.

if this is too hard to understand, then you have more problem than just a NEW BUG.

    Hi, vsh81 -- Thanks for flagging this. Our team is looking into this issue.

    Can you confirm what operating system you're on?

    Also, are there any programs that you can paste into, or is this happening across all the programs you try to paste into?

    Cheers,

    Ryan
