Hello, Repro: Try to paste a link in composer. It seems to only happening on mobile. I tried it on Android. My forum is on e92f57255d but I tried it on Meta too and same issue. I tested it with Android 10 Chrome 98.0.4758.87 Thanks :slightly_smiling_face: Update: It seems to only the external links affected. If I copy a link in meta than I can paste it but if I go to a website and copy that link than I cannot paste it.

This looks like a new privacy feature of Chrome on Android to not insert copied links into clipboard. Open website Tap on address bar Copy link via tap on icon [grafik] Go somewhere like Discourse composer and try to insert via “long-tap” → context-menu → "insert This fails. [grafik] Have a look on your keyboard - there is the link and can be inserted: [grafik] Alternative: Copy link and make it appear in clipboard. [grafik] Results: [grafik] And now you can insert the link anywhere - also via “long-tap” → context-menu → “insert”.

discourse - Wiktionary, the free dictionary But OneBox is missing Works with iPhone/Hub And when using common linking in text (iPhone/Safari)

Just updated to 98.0.4758.87. Now I have the same problem. I can copy and paste the link posted by @Jagster . But not something I copied from the address bar. It seems to work if I don’t copy from the address bar

Wiktionary.org links like https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/discourse don’t work… discourse - Wiktionary, the free dictionary … because of: [grafik] You can only see this note in preview on desktop - I think on mobile there is no preview? Does it also fail on mobile for a link from Wikipedia.org like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discourse_(software) [תמונה] Discourse (software) Discourse is an open source Internet forum system released on August 26, 2014.

Hmm. Maybe this is the bug we discussed on dev @zogstrip @andrei with Android and pasting URLs? So weird!

[תמונה] codinghorror: Hmm. Maybe this is the bug we discussed on dev @zogstrip @andrei with Android and pasting URLs? So weird! Yes, this is the same bug. There is a bug report about it on the official bug-tracker - https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1295617. Note that you can vote for it.

If I copy a link in meta than I can paste it but if I go to a website and copy that link than I cannot paste it. This happens only when using the copy button on the address bar: [the copy button] Everything works just fine when coping a link from the web page (even an external link) or when coping a link from the address bar “manually”: tap on the edit button: [the edit button] select URL in address bar copy it using the context menu I, personally, doubt that this is a security feature. That would be pretty confusing UX in my opinion. And I tried to find some announce of it, and found nothing. My guess is that this is a bug in Chrome, and the fact that the link appears in the clipboard after tapping the button with an eye is a side effect of pressing that button.

[תמונה] andrei: I, personally, doubt that this is a security feature. That would be pretty confusing UX in my opinion. And I tried to find some announce of it, and found nothing. I’m pretty sure it’s all about preventing clipboard snooping. Quite similar to the Android clipboard prompt feature: https://www.xda-developers.com/android-12-beta-features-leak/#android12leakclipboardprompt iOS: TikTok and 32 other iOS apps still snoop your sensitive clipboard data - Ars Technica Edit: @andrei so you were right, it’s not a security feature :clap: The team at chromium pinpointed the error to this feature: [Omnibox] Clipboard can set and detect URL mime type
