When pasting copied text without formatting (Cmd + Shift + V) into a Figma comment, it is placed on the canvas instead of the comment I am drafting. 

 

Environment: MacOS, Figma Dekstop, Design file, comment thread open, comment input field active. 

 

Steps to reproduce:

  • Copy formatted text from a website in Chrome  
  • Open an existing comment thread in Figma
  • Use Cmd + Shift + V to paste into the comment reply field

Result: The text is pasted sans formatting to the canvas

Expected Result: The text is pasted sans formatting into the reply field.

Hey ​@Kyle_Jackson 👋 The definitely sounds unexpected. Can you make a quick screen recording or gif showing the issue from start to finish, please? I tried to repro this is in a new Design file, but couldn’t get it to not paste into the comment.

MacOS, Chrome. All updated. Thanks! — Jaycee
