[severity:It's more difficult to complete my work]
I am running into some edge cases in my application where registering a clipboard format returns a negative format ID, so the DataFormat that is created has a negative ID.
When this happens, if I call `Clipboard.ContainsData()` with my formats, it returns false, even though the formats are in the _formatList and they are on the clipboard.
What causes the format ID to be negative?
