Right, sorry. The initial post was better, but then i had to rewrite it to two posts (and did so only poorly), as i could post only one image per post, a restriction for new users…

I’m Reporting a bug:  
Inserting an animated gif via copy-paste (copying the image to the clipboard with eg. chrome’s “copy image”)  
results in a static gif, as seen in the first post.  
For reference, i added the same gif in the 2nd post (drag’n drop from windows explorer), and now that’s animated.
