Comment 1 Regis Perdreau 2021-11-24 16:38:34 UTC
Firefox version is 94.0.2 (64 bits)

Important : paste is ok with Chrome Version 96.0.4664.45  (64 bits)
Comment 2 Aron Budea 2021-11-25 00:33:37 UTC
Confirmed using LO Version: 7.3.0.0.alpha1+ (a0a38b88dc3a61d212d784f41a27f97d9c2d7f32), 3.3.0 / Windows.

When looking at the clipboard content using Clipboard Inspector [1], the immediate, and perhaps single difference between Windows and Linux (in Linux there's no problem) is that in Windows the <img> element in the text/html content is enclosed as such:

<html><body>
<!--StartFragment-->
<img ...>
<!--EndFragment-->
</body>
</html>

In Linux there's only a <img ...> element.

Interesgintly when pasting via Paste Special, any of the following choices paste the image:
- Stripped HyperText Markup Language (Simple HTML),
- HTML format without comments,
- Bitmap Image (BMP).

Unfortunately, I cannot repro using Version: 7.2.3.2 (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: d166454616c1632304285822f9c83ce2e660fd92
CPU threads: 12; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19043; UI render: default; VCL: win
Locale: ru-RU (ru_RU); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded,

neither with Version: 7.3.0.0.alpha1+ (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: b7a46259eba35257291fe00851252c18ffb4fc90
CPU threads: 12; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19043; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: fr-FR (ru_RU); UI: en-US
Calc: CL

and Firefox 94.0.2 (64-bit).

Pasting image from the Wikimedia page linked from comment 0 (using Ctrl+V) copied using "Copy Image" context menu (is that the correct menu item?) just inserts the image normally.

I don't know what might be the difference - is that UI language of LibreOffice? Settings of Firefox? Localized version of Windows? its installed updates?

Anyway, it would possibly help if you prepare a clipboard snapshot - using NirSoft's Inside Clipboard [1]. Attaching a .Clp file created by the tool here could help to eliminate some of unknowns from the equation. (Please check locally, that the .Clp file, when loaded back after changing clipboard content, does cause the same problem pasting into Writer.)

Here's a .clp file with clipboard data I can reproduce the bug with.

Clipboard data from Firefox Windows

Comment 7 Aron Budea 2022-02-02 07:25:08 UTC
This should be fixed now as Luboš added WebP support in bug 114532.

I'm not sure if the insert section dialog can still be triggered by pasting unexpected content, as Mike has also added a couple of changes, let's close this for now.
