Bug fixes

Cannot fix check warning - text alignment in placeholder - 5.0.392.0

Fixed unfixable layout warning on picture placeholders.

Update Agenda and COMException - 5.0.392.0

Fixed COMException when updating agenda with certain presentations.

When updating an agenda, a lot of consecutive copy/paste operations are done. Analysis revealed, "explorer.exe" locks the clipboard for a very short time after a copy operation. If PowerPoint then tries to paste, the operation failed with the exception that the clipboard does not contain paste-able data.

The initial retry mechanism also retried the copy operation which leads to repeating the whole problem. Due to timing issues, it sometimes passed. The fix now only retries the paste, assuming the copy always succeeded. This leads to a much higher success rate when updating agendas.

Fixed check not finding wrong theme colors inside Donut charts.
