You got me to thinking, Ed.

When I copied from the Notes app, when I seleted the text, only what was
inside what I highlighted was copied.

However, when using NewtPaint, I had to select a rectangle to copy --
some sort of pic or bitmap.

That may be the source of the problem. With notes I pasted some sort of
object where as with NewtPaint is was some sort of picture. This
incorrect data type then caused a memory bleed, or overflow of some sort.

Hmmm...
