It is not just even Windows Snipping Tool which has this problem, every screen copying program which would copy the window frame would probably show the same result.
Because this is how custom-drawn windows, using custom/non-standard frames, are drawn in Windows. As such the copied window is the correct size though.
The real and rectangular (old style) frame of the window is hidden/transparant, and it is always bigger than the custom drawn borders. It also allways contains the (old style) title bar and sometimes even the space for where the (old style) menu bar would have been. So yeah, especially the space above can be quite substantial.
As such, yeah, I suppose copying underlying data unintentionally might be a 'problem' with such custom-drawn windows if you don't know about it.
Personally I never paste directly to Messenger, but first into a graphics program (could be even MS Paint), just for a quick check to make sure I've copied the correct window (and indeed if nothing is there which I don't want).
