Paste image from clipboard does not work

[jjxtra]

Describe the bug Paste image does nothing

To Reproduce Copy image to clipboard (the raw image from an image editor, not a url) Attempt to Ctrl (or MAC Cmd) + V to paste in the editor. Context menu paste also should be an option. Neither work and nothing happens when attempted

Expected behavior Image flow should be initiated with the image on the clipboard

Version information

• OS: Windows 11, x64 Firefox browser, chrome browser, others not tested
• Latest MDE as of 2022-01-14, using jsdelivr in vanilla javascript application

Notes: Drag/drop and upload button work fine.

This is definitely a problem in the core code. The following works and shows an image is on the clipboard and parsed out successfully:

    easyMDE.codemirror.on("paste", function ()
    {
        var items = (event.clipboardData || event.originalEvent.clipboardData).items;
        console.log(JSON.stringify(items));
        for (index in items)
        {
            var item = items[index];
            if (item.kind === 'file')
            {
                var blob = item.getAsFile();
                var reader = new FileReader();
                reader.onload = function(event)
                {
                    // data url!
                    console.log(event.target.result)
                };
                reader.readAsDataURL(blob);
            }
        }
    });

Working example of paste using a custom function:

    easyMDE.codemirror.on("paste", function ()
    {
        var items = (event.clipboardData || event.originalEvent.clipboardData).items;
        console.log(JSON.stringify(items));
        for (index in items)
        {
            var item = items[index];
            if (item.kind === 'file')
            {
                var blob = item.getAsFile();
                easyMDE.uploadImagesUsingCustomFunction(easyMDE.options.imageUploadFunction, [blob]);
            }
        }
    });

nice, can there be an indication during the file upload?
