I'm unable to paste valid URL's into the image box, the hyperlink box or the regular message box.
When I hit paste, the box stays blank. I can paste a link into the box but only if I first remove the colon and replace it manually afterwards. The issue is not that I cannot paste, it's that I can't paste a valid URL, something is preventing me from doing so. I am guessing it's a permission setting of some sort (elsewhere on the interwebz my paster works fine).
When I hit paste, the box stays blank (if what I've copied is a valid URL)
When I remove the colon to invalidate the URL, it will paste in the box fine. When I manually add the colon afterwards, the image works.
It's the same case with the hyperlink box and the standard message box.
I can however post a shared YouTube link in the media box.
Another issue is that I can't get a GIF to post even with the workaround.
I did find a discussion on a xenforo help forum about the issue.

Is anyone else having this issue or know why this is happening?

XF 2.1 - Xenforo 2.1.9 cannot copy and paste to hotlink images from clipboard with image attachments turned off (worked in 1.5)
As described here (I have investigated the reply, that does not solve this issue) https://xenforo.com/community/threads/unable-to-paste-images-or-drag-and-drop-them-into-the-rich-text-editor.168145/ Desribed here with much confusion in the replies about the behavior. The issue is NOT...
