Affinity Photo: Pasting pixel clipboard image exact same size as document always shifted 15px left / 15px up

[patrick_h_lauke]

Steps to reproduce:

1. Have a document of a particular size (in my case, I often work with making composite screenshots, so PrintScreen the whole screen, CTRL+SHIFT+ALT+N to create a new document and paste in the clipboard)

2. Copy some pixel data of exactly the same size (PrintScreen something else, so clipboard contains another image exactly the same size as the document)

3. Paste as a new layer

Result:

The new layer is added, but it is always shifted with X: -15px and Y: -15px.

Expected result:

As the clipboard is exactly the same size as the document, I'd expect it to be positioned exactly at X: 0 and Y: 0. Even if Affinity Photo was trying to paste to the center of the document or whatever, it should still be aligned perfectly with the first layer, no?

I was able to replicate this on a Windows 10 laptop with an external monitor (side-by-side screens).
Workflow to reproduce:
* Press the PrintScreen key;
* In Photo, press CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+N to create a new document from the clipboard contents;
* Press the PrintScreen key again;
* In Photo, use menu “Edit → Paste”.
The second image is inserted at X = -32px and Y = -32px (different to OP’s -15, -15, for some reason).
Subsequent PrintScreen+Paste operations place the new image at the same position as the second image (e.g. -32, -32).
This isn’t what I would expect to happen but I could be missing some valuable information.
Maybe someone else has some insight on this.

Simpler workflow to reproduce, at least on my laptop (no external monitor):

1. Printscreen
2. Ctrl+Alt+Shift+N (or File > New from Clipboard)
3. Ctrl+V (or Edit > Paste )

I end up with two identical (Image) layers, the second offset by -15px in both X and Y directions.
