When pasting an image from the clipboard in Windows 10, nothing happens in Edge (pasting is possible via Chrome).

Browser version: 42.17134.1.0 Microsoft EdgeHTML 17.17134

Hi @Adam-Involute and thanks for reaching out! Sorry for the trouble here!

  1. The latest version of Edge on Windows 10 is 44.18362.1.0; would you mind updating your browser to the latest version and let me know if the issue persists?

  2. Could you also give it a go with a private window?

Looking forward to your reply!

Hi, @Marie!

  1. I updated to 44.18362.1.0, but pasting from the clipboard still has no result.
  2. Same in a private window. Ctrl-V and Paste from a right-click menu does nothing.

(For both cases, I switch to another app to confirm that there is something in the clipboard to paste.)

And if anyone’s wondering why I don’t just use Chrome: Edge is more friendly for MS Office: e.g. I can drag-n-drop attachments straight from Outlook into an Asana task, which doesn’t work through Chrome.

@Natalia,
Sorry for the slow reply. I can confirm the same behavior: pasting an image in Microsoft Edge 44.18362.387.0 on Windows 10 does nothing.
Good luck!

Happy Thursday @Adam-Involute :wave:

After some research our Engineers have confirmed that copying and pasting files from clipboard is not supported by Edge. (you can read more about it here: Microsoft Edge Developer website - Microsoft Edge Developer. From what I read, the Edge Team is not planning to fix it so If it i OK with you I’ve gone ahead and close this thread.

Thank you for reporting this and for your patience! If there is anything else I can help you with don’t hesitate to reach out! :slight_smile:
