Capture not pasting in Google Docs, Zoho, Gmail, and when pasting in Gmail, pastes as code

Capture not pasting in Google Docs, Zoho, Gmail, and when pasting in Gmail, pastes as code

Hi there! So a couple of things I'm noticing in the last couple of weeks. In the past, I could grab a screenshot and paste it right into a Google doc, an email in Front or Gmail, in a Zoho Projects comments, etc. Lately, when I paste into Zoho or Gmail, it appears at first, I resize then in Zoho with I submit my comment, it's just not there. In Gmail when I send, it sends as a bunch of code:

 

[removed]

 

And when I paste in Drive, nothing pastes. What I have to do is paste it into a new Photoshop doc and copy/paste it from there and then it works in all apps mentioned above. This is only recent, as I mentioned above, maybe the last 2-4 weeks. Thanks!

Hey @jandreoni, thanks for bringing this to our attention.

 

I've removed your link for security reasons, but would you mind attaching a screenshot of the issue in your next response, using the camera icon above the reply box, so we can investigate?

 

Just make sure you hide/blur out any personal info before posting.

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi @jandreoni, it seems like the image data isn't being pasted fully into those services, however, it works normally when using a local application.

 

I'd recommend contacting the support team for them to investigate this matter in more detail.
