Problem with pasting images into canvas
A simple paint program for Mac OS X

I cannot paste any outside image into a canvas properly. When I do the paste, the right-bottom part of the pasted image will appear on the left top of the canvas, and the other part would been cut out, no matter what size the canvas and image is, and I cannot move the picture after the paste too.
You should be able to drag the window to where you want to paste it, then click outside the outline, to put it there.
Yes, can't work around the pasting problem as described. Only having this issue since I got my new Macbook Air, so not even sure where the problem is coming from. But everything else in Paintbrush is working fine!
I've noticed that only the bottom right quarter of any captured image is pasted.
Digging into this I discovered that on the newer (perhaps only retina) displays the screen capture function saves images at double the resolution. Thus this problem.
My workaround is to either capture an image 4 times the size of the desired image (with the desired image bottom right) - OR- capture to a file and edit that file in a second paintbrush window.
But it would be great if this bug could be addressed.
