The `Right Click > Copy` / `Right Click > Paste` and `Ctrl+C` / `Ctrl+X` in the card editor only works when an image is selected by dragging (appears blue), not when it is selected by clicking as if it will be resized, which is misleading as right clicking still gives the full Copy/Cut/Paste options.

It would be best if clicking the image allowed copy/paste operations on it, but an OK compromise if the non-working copy/paste options on right click are removed.
