Drawing to clipboard

Schematic
1

When I export a schematic to the clipboard (file → export → drawing to clipboard) in KiCad 9.0 I do not get a complete schematic.

Here is a simple example

Is this a bug or am I missing something? I did a search on the forum as well as a limited search on the web.

I know that I can work around it by taking a screenshot.

KiCad 9.0

In what format(s) are you exporting? Maybe your sheet size is wrong (for a .pdf for example)?

Thanks for the reply.

It does not prompt for a format; it just copies the schematic to the clipboard.

And next I copy the clipboard into an application (e.g. this forum in Firefox or Irfanview or the Gimp) and it’s truncated.

I am having the same issue. It only copies the top left part of the schematic. Altering Page Settings > Size makes not change.
A work around is to print to PDF then cut and paste from the PDF.

This bug is already tracked (but not fixed) on gitlab: Eeschema: Export Drawing to Clipboard does not crop the image correctly (#20477) · Issues · KiCad / KiCad Source Code / kicad · GitLab

FWIW, 8.0 works perfectly in this respect.

Thanks for confirming (and the link to gitlab).
