Copying image generates horizontal bar

[OverLordGoldDragon]

Copy-pasted output of plt.plot([1, 2]):

If I first paste into MS Paint, make no changes at all (even not reselecting with Ctrl+A), then copy from there, then it disappears. Reproduced with both, copying from inline IPython console and Plots pane, with Completion: Graphical and Backend: Inline. This has been the case since Spyder 4.

Windows 10, spyder 5.4.0, other info here.

Hi @OverLordGoldDragon , I'm not totally sure to follow what you mean. Where is the horizontal bar you mention being generated? in the plot that you are copying? Also, could you check if this is happening when using the ipython console outside Spyder?

Any other info to better understand what is happening is greatly appreciated!

I don't seem to have a copy option in ipython -- here's ~demo.mp4~

Oh, thanks for the video! I was unable to notice the line since my GitHub interface uses the dark theme 😅 :

With the light theme:

Are you setting any specific config from Spyder Inline backend options or with rcParams? Could you try to update matplotlib to 3.6.2 and check again? Tried running locally the following with Mute inline plotting disabled:

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot([1, 2])

and I got:

Upgraded to 3.6.2, restarted Spyder, no change. Not setting rcParams - here's Spyder configs:

Btw, also reproduced by copying from Plots pane. I tried Automatic backend then Save, it's not reproduced there, nor if I try to save the inline output instead of copying it.

I was able to reproduce this with the Inline backend config you have:

No idea what could be causing this 🤔 Do you have any idea why this could be happening @ccordoba12 ?

[ccordoba12]

Perhaps this is caused by the Use a tight layout for inline plots option.

Reproduced without Use a tight layout for inline plots

I just discovered that it's not reproduced with Chrome or Microsoft Edge browsers. I'm using Firefox Developer Edition 114.0b3 (64-bit).
