Failing to paste / insert images

Chiara Renna November 30, 2023

Recently the pasting of images e.g. screenshot has stopped working for me on a regular basis. For a few days it works again and then all of  sudden it stops. I tried multiple browsers.

The original comments are correct, this is an ongoing issue (in Chrome at least).  You can't paste while building the ticket, but then you can paste images in a comment afterwards.  Atlassian Support would need to fix this properly.

This is an ongoing issue (in Chrome at least) - the original description does seem to work most times (won't paste while creating the initial ticket, but then you can paste it in a follow-up comment).  But support would need to fix it properly.

Hi @Chiara Renna ,'

If the issue is during create ticket, then Create the issue first, then only paste the attachment.

Hi @Rilwan Ahmed 

in the process of creating tickets it works for me. But commenting with screenshot or adjusting the description is not possible for me.

@Chiara Renna 

If the issue is only for you, then

  1. Logout of jira 
  2. Close all your jira tabs
  3. Clear all your browser cache
  4. Disable browser extension/add-ons
  5. Restart your laptop/pc and retry.

It is only for me. It applies to all tickets.

I followed your steps but that did not solve the problem, unfortunately.

Hi @Chiara Renna 

What happens exactly when you try to copy/paste an image?

And does this happen for just you - or multiple/all users on your instance?

Hi @Ste Wright 

I get no response at all. The cursor stays on the same position and nothing happens. This is true for inserting via right-click and also via CTRL+V. 

It only occurs to me so far. 

Kind regards,

Chiara

Hi @Chiara Renna 

Have you tried...

  • A different laptop/PC?
  • Clearing your cache?
  • Using Paste on a different website and/or product (eg. Word)?

I tried multiple browser (IE, Chrome, Firefox), cleared my cache, logged in and out. Pasting in any other product (also Confluence) works.

I would need to try if I can checkon another laptop/PC.

Hi @Chiara Renna 

So it works on the same browser in Confluence? And other types of copy/paste work (eg. words)?

If yes, I'd consider contacting Atlassian Support for this one!
