I’ve had multiple reports of images appearing twice when copy/pasted into the composer window. Both of the reports are in Chrome on Windows (both v7 and v10).

~~I’ve not been able to reproduce this myself.~~

In the most recent report, the resulting raw markup is this:

You do a right click “Copy image” and then paste in composer ? I can’t reproduce doing this. What’s your browser please ?

@vinothkannans I assume this is related to your recent changes, I can reproduce on Firefox 59 (nightly) on mac but not on chrome.

- open [Storm Caroline disrupts travel and closes schools](http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-scotland-highlands-islands-42256808)
- right click on image
- “Copy image”
- come back to discourse page
- paste in composer area will result in following:

```plaintext

Seems to be a generic problem.  
I’m on win10 with edge.
