Notes adding copied text from clipboard

Post by Phroobar »

I’ve noticed the ‘Notes’ section seems to automatically add copied text from within someone’s clipboards. The text is converted into a .png image file.
I thought I’d bring this to your attention albeit this does not prove to be a massive inconvenience to us personally.

Below is an image example of somebody who fell “victim” to this in one project.

Most likely the data in the clibpoard contained an image format instead of (or possibly in addition to) text. Consequently, the dropzone treated it as an attachment.

I frequently copy/paste text, and never faced this problem.

In the interest of reproducing the problem, it would be useful to know from where the text was originally copied.

From what I gather from the user, it is html web page.
