I'm trying to copy a figure that's been created by a GUI to the clipboard using print -dmeta. However, whenever I do this, the GUI gets copied to the clipboard instead. For example, if I do:

figure(1)
print -dmeta

I'd expect to get figure one on the clipboard. But I don't. if I gcf, it shows up as 1. Interestingly enough, if I use print -dbitmap, gcf gets changed to the figure handle of the gui, (also, this handle seems to be a non-integer...), and the wrong figure gets copied. Ideas? Is this a bug?

I'm on r2009b for reference.

print(1,'-dmeta')
will print figure 1

Sure, and that's what I ended up doing, but it's less convenient, and I'd still like to get print -dmeta working the way it's supposed to....
