It seems a nested Manipulate will not copy correctly as a bitmap.
Here's a toy example:
Manipulate[
Manipulate[
Plot[Sin[k x]^n, {x, 0, 10}], {k, 1, 5}], {n, {1, 2, 3, 4}}]
Evaluate this, select the output cell, then choose Edit -> Copy As ->
Bitmap. I believe this is only available on Windows. Then paste the
bitmap back to the notebook to view it.
The inner Manipulate's contents will show as a grey box.
Is there a workaround for this?
Motivation: I am using
FrontEndTokenExecute[FrontEnd`SelectionNotebook[], "CopySpecial", "MGF"]
to obtain a rasterized version of the selection in the notebook. I have
not found any other reliable way to rasterize the notebook selection
without changing the way it looks.
