tl;dr please put a native editor ([or even the new composer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/help-us-test-the-rewritten-composer/34679/)) in approvals

Repro:

1. user posts to a forum, the post is moderated
2. admin edits spelling, grammar, fixes a broken url
3. admin wants to add or replace an image , and drops in the new image, as we expect discourse to support
4. rather than the image being uploaded to discourse & a placeholder put in the post, the browser just goes to the file:// url.
5. admin hesitantly clicks “back” to see what just happened
6. approval page reloads, all edits were lost
