Sorry for insufficient explanation.

The problem I've reported does not happen by containing particular 
characters on the clipboard.


There seems to be maximum string length to use file name. In the 
case of clip, a maximum is 64 and notes is 75.


After truncating string including Double-Byte Character to specified 
length, it might become a invalid string to use file name due to the 
possibility of splitting double-byte characters.
