Description

Copy and pasting a file in the editor does not trigger editablePaste event

Steps to reproduce

2. Copy a file to the clipboard
3. Paste in the editor with CTL V

Expected behavior:
The subscribed function should be called

Actual behavior:
It's not called
There is an error in the console :
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'split' of undefined
a.Extension.extend.doPaste @ medium-editor.min.js:3

Versions

Which kind of file are your dropping in the editor, an image, a text file?

[JeanCarriere]

For instance, I paste a picture copied in the clipboard from a web page.
The problem seems to come from the handlePasteBinPaste mechanism.

Didn't took time to look at it, but we rewrote the pasting part recently, it might be related.

This is definitely a result of the new code. Right click paste fires the event correctly, but keyboard paste does not. This is because when we capture the CTRL + V command we change which element the user will actually paste into. Since this element is not within the editor, the actual paste event on the editor will never fire. Since that event doesn't trigger, our handler which fires the editablePaste event never gets triggered.

I can get a fix for this in soon, thanks a ton for point this out @JeanCarriere !

@JeanCarriere the fix for this is ready (#1099), as soon as it's merged in we'll cut a new patch release so you'll have the fix available. Thanks again for pointing out this issue.

@JeanCarriere for the case where you weren't able to copy and paste an image in, I wasn't able to reproduce it...what options are you passing when you initialize medium-editor? There are some paste related options you'll have to configure to ensure the images will show up Are you setting paste. forcePlainText to false or paste. cleanPastedHTML to true?

[JeanCarriere]

The options I have are :

• forcePlainText : true
• cleanPastedHTML : false

[nmielnik]

In order for the html to come through (and for images to not be ignored), you'll need to set forcePlainText: false.
