I’d find it weird this behavior hasn’t been already discussed, but I couldn’t find any info using the search. Maybe I’m not using the right keywords. When you select and copy the content from a Discourse post containing images and paste it to anywhere else, it keeps markdown local image formatting…

Not sure, this is a question for @sam , what should the behavior be?

The workaround would be to copy the “preview” vs raw. I can not see any easy way to resolve this when clicking Ctrl-c
