I can't reproduce this. I tried it on Linux and Windows.  I was able to paste the canvas image to an e-mail body in gmail.

Can you indicate some "rich text editor" where this is not working?

Windows WordPad and web.telegram.org paste-to-send-image.

FYI My Windows 10 build is 14986, an insider preview build. MS break things in such builds, so probably Chrome is not to blame for this issue.

Able to reproduce the issue on Windows 10 using chrome reported version #56.0.2924.18 and latest canary #57.0.2949.0.

Attached a screen cast for reference.

Following are the steps followed to reproduce the issue.
------------
1. Opened the URL: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Canvas_API/Tutorial/Drawing_text.
2. Right clicked and tried to copy a sample canvas image.
3. Pasted the image in windows word pad.
4. Observed that the image got pasted as a black rectangular box.

arthur200126@ - Could you please verify the screen cast and please let us know if it is the issue.
Also please try reproducing this issue in different browsers and please let us know the behaviors in different browsers. This will help us in knowing if it is chrome specific or not.

Thanks...!!

@krajshree Hmm, it does not look like the same issue. My clipboard starts with some text in it (I used the MDN url to start with), and every time I paste I always get the text. That's what I meant by saying clipboard does not seem changed.

(You don't have to start with text -- the crbug tracker logo image does it too.)

@#7: The black rectangular box may be normal behavior depending on the application you are pasting to.  This is because the canvases on the page https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Canvas_API/Tutorial/Drawing_text
are drawing black text over a cleared (transparent) canvas when you paste a semi-transparent image to an application that has poor support for transparency, the image's RGB values will get copied instead of alpha-blended, so the transparent pixels show up as black.  That is why the canvas appears as all plack in WordPad or MS-Paint.  That is not a bug with Chrome.  Try copying a canvas that is more colorful, and you'll see that it is Okay.

I can't repro the original problem reported on win7.

But re #7 and #9, looks like firefox puts transparent images on the clipboard too. If you're authoring the svg, you can fill the background with a color prior to drawing on top of that solid background.

Drat, I forgot to try to repro this on my win10 system at home.

@anantha, can you help find someone to try to repro this on win10? The OP says copying an SVG image doesn't put anything on the clipboard, but the OP was using an insider preview build of win10. If this doesn't repro on released versions of win10, I think we can close it out.

Unable to reproduce the issue on Windows 10 using chrome reported version #56.0.2924.18 and latest canary #57.0.2958.3.
