In this article, we'll delve into the possible causes of these issues and explore potential solutions.

Bluish Tint when Pasting Images from Firefox

The bluish tint issue occurs when you right-click on an image with a white background, copy it, and then paste it into KeyNote using Ctrl-V. This problem is specific to Firefox, as Chrome users don't experience the same issue. To reproduce the problem, follow these steps:

  1. Open any page with an image that has a white background.
  2. Right-click on the image and select "Copy" (or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+C).
  3. Open KeyNote and use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl-V to paste the image.
  4. Observe the image, which should now have a bluish tint.

Extra Characters when Copying and Pasting Text from Firefox

Another issue that users have reported is the presence of extra characters when copying and pasting text from a web page into KeyNote. These characters appear at the beginning of the text and have the following Unicode values: 0x69, 0xBB, and 0x3F. This problem is not specific to images, as it occurs when copying and pasting text from any web page. To reproduce the problem, follow these steps:

  1. Open any web page and select a text block.
  2. Use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl-C to copy the text.
  3. Open KeyNote and use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl-V to paste the text.
  4. Observe the text, which should now have extra characters at the beginning.
