When I paste an image it is not attached to the page but a link is created

Question

Hi all,

when I paste an image from clipboard to a confluence page, I would expect the image to be attached to the page and inserted into the page.

But instead a link to the original website where I copied it from is created.

Is that the designed behaviour? Do I always have to attach it first?

Couldn't find any documentation on that.

Confluence Version is 6.7. The drag&drop add-on is enabled.

The behaviour is the same with chrome and firefox.

Best, Anne

That's really weird - especially when it's shown on the page... Hope someone will be able to help...

Good luck!

Hi @Fabienne Gerhard,

I tried with IE and Chrome.

The picture is shown, but it is not attached to the page.

I paste the clipboard.

Thanks for trying to help,

Anne

Hi @Anne  Warmer

hmm - that's really strange - it looks like you're using IE - also tried it.

Again was not able to reproduce it.

Is the link shown on the page, or is there the icon for pic?

Do you copy & paste it or do you use the Insert > Image dialog?

Best regards
