Build ID: Version: 3.4.0 Build id: I20080617-2000

Steps To Reproduce:
1. write app using the code pasted below
2. open ms ppt 2003 on windows, create an autoform box, select and copy it
3. check if isExternalClipboardContentSuitable() returns true --> wrong behavior: returns false
4. get the clipboard content using getImageFromClipboard() --> returns the image data


More information:
I want to implement copy/paste of images from MS-PPT to eclipse rcp app. The paste action is enabled using method isExternalClipboardContentSuitable() below; the content is fetched using getImageFromClipboard() below.

The test says no suitable ImageTransfer stuff available on clipboard; but fetching it succeeds.

   public static boolean isExternalClipboardContentSuitable() {
        // TODO: fix
        // check if clipboard contains image
        Clipboard clipboard = new Clipboard(Display.getCurrent());
        boolean enabled = false;
        try {
            TransferData[] available = clipboard.getAvailableTypes();
            for (TransferData transfer : available) {
                if (ImageTransfer.getInstance().isSupportedType(transfer)) {
                    enabled = true;
                    break;
                }
            }
        } finally {
            clipboard.dispose();
        }
        return enabled;
    }

    public static ImageData getImageFromClipboard() {
        Clipboard clipboard = new Clipboard(Display.getCurrent());
        ImageData imageData = null;
        try {
            imageData = (ImageData) clipboard.getContents(ImageTransfer.getInstance());
        } finally {
            clipboard.dispose();
        }

        return imageData;
    }
