Windows 11 clipboard viewer doesn't show large images

Is that normal?

I was using the old Clipboarder gadget but that complained that the image in question was too large

There is no size limit to clipboard data but you might need to wait up to 30 secs. for data to appear.

Small stuff appears in the viewer just fine ...
