            Bug ID: 37418
           Summary: Unable to paste images from linux clipboard to Wine
                    apps workspace (affects Photoshop, Powerpoint etc.)
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.7.29
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P2
         Component: winex11.drv
          Assignee: wine-bugs at winehq.org
          Reporter: fincer89 at hotmail.com
      Distribution: ---

Note: This is not the same bug than 7372
(https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7372) as it deals mostly with
text/html issue.

Pasting a raster image from the clipboard or from a website (using native linux
web browser like Firefox) to the Photoshop workspace doesn't work. The paste
button stays greyed out, no matter of what.

The workaround, which is basically saving the image to the computer and opening
to the Photoshop, is a cumbersome, less user-friendly and time consuming
method: you need to save the image file and look for it from a local directory
structure and then open it. Much more complicated than just copying the image
to the linux clipboard and paste it to the Photoshop, isn't it?

Very desirable Wine implementation would be a support for copy-pasting images
from native linux programs to Windows-based programs straightforwardly without
extra tricky steps needed.

This is marked as a bug because the image pasting function is one of the
fundemental functions in the program and, at the moment of writing this bug
report, it does not work as it should do.

All comments and ideas are welcome.
