What OS are you using? What browser? I'm using Ubuntu 13.04 and Chromium and Firefox. I use the (excellent and cross-platform) clipboard manager CopyQ, but I can reproduce with or without CopyQ running: In Chromium or Firefox, when I go to http://www.lyx.org and right click on intro.png and go to "copy image" and then go to LyX and paste, nothing is pasted (although "paste" shows up in LyX's message box). If I then open up Gimp and paste, the image pastes as expected. CopyQ shows the following after copying the image: text/html: <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><img src="http://www.lyx.org/images/intro.png"; alt="Download"/> image/bmp: (shows the picture) text/uri-list: http://www.lyx.org/images/intro.png application/x-copyq-owner-window-title: LyX | LyX – The Document Processor - Chromium If I copy from Gimp to LyX, everything works fine and CopyQ shows the clipboard as having: image/bmp image/png image/jpeg application/x-copyq-owner-window-title: *[Untitled]-5.0 (RGB color, 2 layers) 640x400 – GIMP So perhaps it is the text/html that is causing the behavior I'm seeing. Maybe LyX recognizes it and pastes it in but when it converts it it converts it to nothing? That's why I don't see anything pasted? Scott
