Why does the page freeze when pasting in edit mode?

[Alexandra Ross]

For about a week now, every time I try to edit a page in Confluence or Jira, if I attempt to paste any copied text the page/ticket freezes up and becomes unresponsive. Once this has happened, that page becomes uneditable for me in the future, even if I am not pasting anything.

I have tried:

-clearing my cache

-reloading the page

-restarting Chrome

-restarting computer

*Additional note: Other programs/websites are working fine for me with the exception of one other service that I use - Intercom. This same error has been happening for the same time frame when writing help articles in Intercom.

I would really appreciate any insights or ideas! Thank you

Welcome to the community.  This could be caused by a lot of things so it could be challenging to troubleshoot.  Let's start with this:

• Is it limited to Chrome or is it happening in all browsers?
• Does it happen on other computers?
