Paste image does not replace selected text
-
- Write some text.
- Think that you can be more clever by putting a meme picture instead, so go find one and copy it to your clipboard.
- Select the text that you wrote to replace it by the picture, and hit Ctrl-V.
Expected result: all the world can now see your awesomeness through the picture that someone else did rather than the lameness of your own imagination.
Actual result: the selected text is still there, after the code for the pasted picture.
(this works OK with text)
(Opera 40+something or whatever the numbers are today)

Who hosts it
The extension is called 'imgur Uploader'.
I have it set to use direct links instead of page links, copy the link to the clipboard, and not actually open the link in a new tab.

I do that all the time and I've never gotten that. Must have been something weird with that particular image.
ETA: Or a Windows thing?
