Screenshot Mode
Screenshot Mode does not work properly, it is not possible to paste to MS Word. (Nightly-2015-01-18-2111-be86863)
You can paste it into Paint. Here you can see the reflection. 2 pixels are moved to the left side of the image.

If it will paste into Paint then it seems to me that the fault lies with MS Word not being able to handle a raw bitmap in the clip buffer.
It pastes into LibreOffice Writer OK which pretty much confirms that the fault lies with Word.
Best of luck taking this up with MS support :)
I can confirm either issue. The latter might be a genuine MuseScore bug, the former surely is a Microsoft Office bug (not just Word, Outlook too).

Unfortunately, also in Photoshop you can not paste. As you can see from the attached image in the Paint not paste properly. On the left is a reflection of the pixels from the right edge.

I cannot duplicate the issue (Win 8.1u1 64bit). I've tried various window sizes, saving with both "save-as print" and "save-as screenshot", and loading them into Paint and IrfanView.
Can the OP provide OS details, as well as simple steps to duplicate the problem?

No, not "save as" but "copy". Directly, via the clipboard. Into the clipboard with right-click->copy, out of the clipboard in e.g. Paint with Ctrl+V

Ah, OK. Still can't duplicate the issue.

create a screenshot that has a barline at its very right border, but some free space on the left border.
Set resolution to 200DPI
Right-click->Copy (or Ctrl+C)
Open Paint
Ctrl+V
You should see that the barline now is on the left side rather then the right
Well I think we have a problem.
Just tried copying and pasting from my latest Windows 8.1 self-build (commit be86863) and the only application I can paste into from the snapshot tool is MS Paint.
It pastes fine into a range of applications including Serif Drawplus and LibreOffice Writer from the snapshot tool in Beta 1, which suggests, unless the code has been worked on (and as far as I can see it has not been worked on since 2013), that something broke in Qt 5.4
Any way we can check if Qt is the problem?

In Clipboard viewer appears: “ClipBook Viewer cannot display the information in its current format or there is not enough memory to display it.”
A screenshot in the ClipBook Viewer appears when you save. Of course, 2 pixels are moved to the left side of the image.

I worked on a bit of this code to allow an automatic trimming option - see for exact the "Auto-resize to page" option in the right click menu for the screenshot mode. I don't *think* it would have any effect like this, but since I touched it, I'm happy to look, if someone gives me *precise* steps to reproduce, since so far I haven't been able to on Ubuntu (could be it's a Windows-only Qt bug of course).

Steps to reproduce are in this thread, but it may indeed be a Windows specific bug
In reply to Steps to reproduce are in by Jojo-Schmitz
Well, there are *general* steps I am following, but for all we know, the bug might depend on specifics not provided. Like maybe it only happens if the score has staff names, or if it doesn't, or only with/without brackets. Or only when selecting a region that is more / less than 500 pixels wide. Or only if it spans / doesn't span multiple staves. Or only if there is / isn't a title frame. All sorts of variables I just don't know that I am reproducing correctly.
So again, I'd appreciate *precise* steps to reproduce - either with a score I can create from scratch given the listed instructions, or with a psoted score, and a good description of exactly what region I need to select.
In reply to Well, there are *general* by Marc Sabatella
About the only thing mentioned that's important is to start the selection _very_ close the start of the staff, a few pixels away, so you can see things properly. This sample is taken from "My First Score", nothing added.
The initial selection:
![clp001.png]( "clp001.png")
What pasting from the clipboard looks like in IrfanView. Notice where the final barline has gone:
![clp002.png]( "clp002.png")
In reply to About the only thing by schepers
Rather close to barline on the right edge, barely including it. After paste it'll be left.
But that is only to make it easier to spot
In reply to Rather close to barline on by Jojo-Schmitz
In the latest Qt-5.4.1 snapshot I can no longer reproduce that issue with those few pixels from the right edge being shown at the left edge
Edit, false alert, saving the snapshot from MuseScore doesn't have those pixels, but a copy/paste into e.g. MS Paint still has.

It does not matter the contents of the score
it doesn't matter the size of the selected area
Sample selection:
Paste correctly to XnView
Do not paste to, Gimp, IrfanView, Word 2010, Photoshop, Corel, Illustrator
Pastes, but moves pixels from right to left – Paint, Fotografix.
Additionally, always in the lower left corner you can see three pixels - red, green and blue:
FWIW, I am not seeing any issues on Ubuntu, and I was helping a friend with this on Mac the other day and there were no problems there either.
Curious, what happens for you if you paste it right back into MuseScore? You need to click a note to attach the graphic to first. I just realized this works, BTW. Ossia just got a lot easier!

Works correctly inside MuseScore. I suspect some round issue, in MuseScrie the same rounding happens in and out -> no problem

Yes, I can also duplicate this now, and without changing the resolution. I also notice some residual garbage at the end of the image. See the two little dots to the bottom-left of the clef. They are always present for me.
In reply to Yes, I can also duplicate by schepers
Yes, I mentioned the DPI only to be on the save side, hadn't tested with others
Did anyone ever file an issue on this? I can't find it. It would be best if someone who can reproduce it did.

I have also been having the issue with LibreOffice and GIMP since installing 2.0b2 (2.0b1 worked fine in this department). Have filed issue #46971.
