For future folks having this problem, I reached out to Figma support and they had me try:

Turning off the clipboard permission for Figma on the browser (here's a video demonstrating it)
Reload the site
See if you can paste contents as expected

And it worked!

Absolutely wild that turning off clipboard permissions is what fixed it, but alas, here we are. Thanks Figma support!

Hi, up until last week I was able to copy and paste freely (+ use the paste to replace). The last few days when I attempt to paste, it only pastes the text and if I attempt to paste an image/icon nothing happens.
