Image from clipboard not correctly displayed in JavaFX 8 application

Question

This program shall paste an image from clipboard into an ImageView (on Windows 10). Unfortunately the image is not correctly displayed.

public class PasteImageFromClipboard extends Application {

ImageView imageView = new ImageView();
Button bnPaste = new Button("Paste");

public static void main(String[] args) {
    Application.launch(args);
}

@Override
public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {

    bnPaste.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
        public void handle(ActionEvent event) {
            Clipboard cb = Clipboard.getSystemClipboard();
            if (cb.hasImage()) {
                Image image = cb.getImage();
                imageView.setImage(image);
            }
        }
    });

    VBox vbox = new VBox();
    vbox.getChildren().addAll(bnPaste, imageView);
    Scene scene = new Scene(vbox);
    stage.setScene(scene);
    stage.setWidth(400);
    stage.setHeight(400);
    stage.show();
}
}

Steps to reproduce:

• Start cmd.exe
• Press ALT-Print to copy the cmd window into the clipboard
• Start program PasteImageFromClipboard
• Press "Paste" button in PasteImageFromClipboard

This result is displayed on my computer:

It should be like this:

Is there more code required to draw the image correctly?
