Bug Description

When I copy a picture from a website and paste it to Signal chat, an url of the picture pastes too. Then I have to delete the url of the picture manually. It's also reproducible with images from a localhost. The path from the Filesystem is copied instead of the web address.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open Signal app -> Open a chat
2. Find a random picture on Google -> Right click to the picture -> Copy image
3. Past the image to the chat

Actual Result:

Url of the picture pastes to the message.

Expected Result:

Url of the picture doesn't paste to the message.

What browser are you using to copy the images?

Safari 15.0

I'm thinking we'll need an electron change here but I'll put this on our radar in case we can patch it soon.

The same issue is happening in the latest version on Android device. The browser is Chrome

@theankush For Android issues, you'll want to create an issue here: https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/issues

I'm going to close this, as it appears to be fixed for Desktop.

I can still reproduce this with Signal 7.22.2 and Safari 17.5. @simonf-dev: How about you?

I can confirm this issue on MacOS by copying images from Safari. This doesn't seem to happen with Firefox, Brave or Chrome.
