Crash after copying a large image into clipboard

[Ishi]

So I have a single layer picture opened on PDN v.4.0.21. I did some changes to it and CTRL+A then attempted to copy it to the clipboard FROM PDN to another program being MS Publisher, then I get an error on PDN saying it failed to load the image into the clipboard. I get this error log.

It looks like Paint.NET ran out of memory when trying to copy the image to the clipboard.

It's an error or a crash? 

 

Also, why's it all on one line? That makes it impossible to read

[Ishi]

Its a problem that causes PDN to display that dialog box that also shows the error log but it does not really grind PDN to a stop. Here's the error log again. I used the forum function to insert a line of code. I think it does not behave as it once used to.

This is not a bug. Paint.NET needed to allocate memory and it couldn't, so it told you instead of crashing.

 

Are you using a 64-bit edition of Windows? If not, I recommend you switch to that.
