Still evaluating UR, getting more and more impressed, but I'm experiencing one thing that seems to be a bug:

Quite often I would want to paste an image from the clipboard into UR, typically screen-shots of error-messages, together with description of the message and (hopefully) a solution. When I try to paste the screenshot into the info item (of type Text), the image appears, but then the info item becomes "insensitive", i.e. when I click in it I don't get a cursor and can't write anything (all other objects/panes seems to work OK). I cannot scroll the document either. If i undo the paste with Ctrl+Z the image disappears, but the document is still insensitive. If I then delete the document and insert a new one, it's seems to work again, but when I try to save it, I get an access violation error and have to restart the application.

Anyone else experienced this? I run UR on Windows Vista.

OK, thanks, I upgraded to version v14.0.4750.1000, and now I am able to paste images, as long as they are not to big. If I paste an image of the full screen, the image appears and disappeares, and a big white box takes it's place. If I crop the picture in Paint first it works fine. It'll do.

If you're taking the time to drop the image into an image app why not just Save it to a file, then Move it to UR as a Stored Document Item. If you need the ability to add notations you could create a user Template based on Document and assign a Form that contains an Attribute for Notes and give the Attribute a multi-line value in the Form.

This would allow you to preserve the orignal image without cropping or scaling, but removes the layout capabilities of rtf.
