Pasting images from Word

[Comandeer]

Are you reporting a feature or a bug?

Feature request

Provide detailed reproduction steps (if any)

1. Open attached Word document.
2. Select all its content.
3. Paste into CKEditor.

Expected result

Image is pasted correctly.

Actual result

Image is not pasted and console shows error:

Not allowed to load local resource: file:///[redacted]/clip_image002.png

There should be a sensible way to detect such images and try to embed them anyway, converting to Blob (see also #505). However I'm not sure how to omit limitation with ability to get access to local files… Maybe try to extract images from RTF representation of pasted Word content?

Browser Compatibility

Latest versions of:

• Chrome
• Firefox
• Edge

Feature cannot be implemented in Internet Explorer since it does not support Clipboard API.

Also it cannot be implemented in Safari, as it does not expose RTF clipboard, which we use to extract images. Webkit team claims that Safari fixed this issue, however it's still not resolved in Tech Preview today (see #1134 (comment)).

Other details

• Browser: Chrome, Firefox
• OS: macOS
• CKEditor version: 4.7.1
• Installed CKEditor plugins: pastefromword

Yes, image blobs are extractable from RTF clipboard.

Works in Internet Explorer

[mlewand]

That's correct. AFAIR it does only work in IE11 (as it inlines all the images natively). This feature has been reverted in MS Edge though.

Added information on browser compatibility.

I have this issue pasting images with text in Chrome but not in Firefox. Can anybody give me some help?

[mlewand]

@fikoborquez issue a bug report including all the required information and we'll investigate whether there's some problem with it.

Make sure to use the latest version of CKEditor, and ensure that the problem exists on official CKEditor demos.
