I just save the project as image, then add the image to a document. While
perhaps a few more clicks than using the clipboard, it works fine.
Cheers,

Tested here on Linux: working fine too!!
I think this looks like a nice (easy?) feature request to make this core
functionality?
- right-click menu on mapcanvas with:
- save Map to Clipboard
(- set size of MapCanvas to...) I know this is also often needed...
- one or two buttons to do this?
While a plugin works for older versions, I think it should not be needed
for a teacher/user to hear: install QGIS and add the following
plugins.... (while that is actually what I often have to say....)
I think I could even try to do this :-)
