Still not solved my problem


I’ve been experiencing the same issue. I tried the steps in the article linked by Celine, but nothing worked.


The issue only occurs when pasting images from the clipboard in Firefox. I’m getting it on Windows 10 and 11, even on a fresh install of Firefox.


Using Ctrl+V to paste causes the Paste button to appear like a context menu, and the paste won’t go through until the button is gone (by clicking on the button, or outside of it, or pressing Esc).


Right-clicking the canvas and selecting “Paste here” causes the same Paste button to appear, but clicking on it will cause another Paste button to appear.


Hey everyone, thanks for flagging this. After further investigation, I see in our backend that the support team has escalated this issue to our engineering team for further investigation.


We will keep you posted. For now, we recommend to use a different browser in the meantime if it is an action you often need to take. Thank you for your understanding!


UPDATE: Our engineering team have also confirmed that this is a bug - however to be transparent with you that this will not have an immediate resolution as we need more time to investigate this.


While I can’t promise a quick fix, please know that our engineering team is aware of the issue and will work towards finding a solution in the future. We appreciate your understanding and patience in this matter!
