Paste does not work with FireFox

Question

MelchiorUU opened this issue 3 years ago · comments

I have copied a factor and tried to paste this. This leads to getting a "Failed to paste" error in the bottom of the screen.

When I try to paste the same element (clipboard data) in Edge it does work.

I used Firefox 92.0 (64-bit) on Windows.

Unfortunately, Firefox has not (yet) implemented the necessary API for copy and paste, although Edge and Chrome have. See comment on the implemenation of readText at https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Clipboard_API
