Works for me, copying from Edge Version: 25.8.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 08e40accb3fabe676746c40797efc20eaa218801 CPU threads: 16; OS: Windows 11 X86_64 (build 26100); UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win Locale: es-ES (es_ES); UI: en-US Calc: CL threaded Please detail step by step, how you make the copy and which browser you use.
Created attachment 198947 [details] Bug reproducing The bug does not affect web browsers. The problem occurs when copying multiple images from a file explorer (Dolphin in Linux/KDE, Windows Explorer, etc.). Also, to reproduce the bug, it is enough to drag multiple images directly from the desktop. To clarify, the error only occurs if multiple files are selected. Dragging a single image works as expected. Also, the problem affects images (png, jpeg, etc.), but does not reproduce with video files. The videos simply overlap each other.

A patch has been submitted to remove the image replacement functionality in Calc: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/196085. We need feedback on the acceptability of this change. Currently, this functionality also hinders the implementation of multiple image insertion (https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=41007). We have not been able to come up with any scenario that requires replacing an image in a spreadsheet without deleting the existing one. Perhaps we should abandon this behavior in favor of multiple image insertion?
(In reply to Amin Irgaliev from comment #5) > We need feedback on the acceptability of this change. If you still can drop multiple images into a spreadsheet, just not replacing the current selection, I think this is a reasonable solution. For consistency drag'n drop should neither replace in case of single selection.
(In reply to Amin Irgaliev from comment #5) > A patch has been submitted to remove the image replacement functionality.. "This change removes the image replacement functionality, which is triggered when a new image is dropped onto an existing one.", meaning before the dropped image/s are accepted any selection would be cleared. Potential workflows where ImgA is replaced by ImgB per drag 'n drop wont be possible anymore. Me suggested to test, if possible, if the source contains multiple images. But if that's not possible or means substantial effort I believe the improvements of this patch outweighs the rare potential use case.
