Hi, 
I understand that you would like to copy and paste figures from MATLAB to OneNote, but you are having trouble doing so. 
If you are not able to copy the figure using "Edit > Copy Figure", you can try copying programmatically using the 'print' command. For example, to copy your figure as a bitmap image, execute the following command in the MATLAB Command Window: 
>> print('-clipboard','-dbitmap')
After executing this command, you should be able to paste the figure into OneNote. If this does not work for you, you can try saving your figure as an image using "File > Save As..." and then inserting the image into OneNote. 
For more information on the 'print' command, see the following documentation links:

I guess they don't care MAC users. This issue is really annoying. Though this is nothing when compared with magic mouse right click issue.
Anyway, workaround solution;
open editmenufcn.m
instead of "matlab.graphics.internal.copyFigureHelper(hfig)" command, use "print(hfig,'-clipboard','-dbitmap')"
