I have upgraded my UWP App to use webview2 and when I navigate to a online M365 Word document I am now unable to paste an image from the clipboard.

Thanks for your help

@champnic @maurawinstanley is this related to #3601?

I have the same issue.
@champnic Do you have any information about when will be this bug fixed?

[jennifer-jacobs]

Hi @tamasbito99 & @DotNet-Fan @mancda @chrisjshields,
Copying and pasting of images should work in UWP WV2 apps starting with runtime version 131 which should be out around mid-November.

There is still an open bug around copying with the context menu which can still repro rarely (#3775), but ctrl + c and ctrl +v should work reliably. The context menu issue only repros ~10% of the time.

If you continue to have issues let us know!

After two years still no developer could resolve this

[jennifer-jacobs]

Hi @matthiashack - are you using a runtime version 131 or greater? This issue should be fixed in those versions.

Can you provide steps to reproduce the issue you're still seeing?

[matthiashack]

i find the reason is that i wrongly set the params bool contextMenuEnabled = false; in my code, thank you @jennifer-jacobs
