Holding Ctrl+V pastes the same image repeatedly (no debounce/repeat guard) #4045

Description

Description

When pasting an image into the chat input, holding down Ctrl+V fires the paste event continuously with no debounce or key-repeat guard. Holding it for ~10 seconds inserts ~100 copies of the same image into the conversation.

Version

GitHub Copilot CLI 1.0.69-0 (desktop)

OS

Windows

Steps to reproduce

  1. Copy an image to the clipboard.
  2. Focus the chat input.
  3. Press and hold Ctrl+V for several seconds.

Expected behavior

A held Ctrl+V should paste the image once (or be debounced / ignore key auto-repeat), like a normal single paste.

Actual behavior

The image is pasted repeatedly (one insert per key-repeat event), flooding the chat with dozens of duplicate images.
