Pasting images false error

[vanished]

Sometimes I use snipping tool to select an area of the screen, which automatically puts it on the clipboard.

Other times I use "copy image" to grab it from a webpage.

 

Either way, I then control + v to paste it in a post here on the forum, and get the following error (sometimes)

I then ignore the error and control + v again, only to have it work as expected.

+1 for ignoring errors and doing it your way anyway

 

I get this too sometimes.  to add something productive.

I reproduced this, but I can't seem to be able to do it again...

When it happens, has the upload bar at the bottom of the editor loaded fully when you started the paste?

Hmmmm interesting.  I haven't really paid attention to that but I'll keep it in mind and let you know if I notice a pattern.

I know this is old but it hasn't come up often so it's taken a while to be confident in a pattern, but I think this is indeed the cause.
