Bug in Image Alt Text Copy / Paste

[john1 (John Serrao)]

Prismic team:

Our client with your product has noticed a persistent bug in your dashboard UI. Copy and paste into the Image Alt Text field does not work reliably. I have confirmed the bug on Chrome v87 and Safari v14 for MacOS Catalina. This would be a good one to resolve.

Best,
J

Hello John, thanks for reaching out. Could you please share with me some more details about this issue? I tried to reproduce this on my side but found no errors.

• Which steps did you took to found this?
• What's the URL of your repository and the name of the field / slice where this is happening
• Also, If you could provide me with a screen recording of the error, it'll help a lot

Thanks

Steps:
1- Create new content with a Rich Text field
2- Add picture within Rich Text field
3- Copy content from another application (Google Docs, Word, VS Code, etc)
4- Paste into 'alt text' field
5- Image with either disappear of the paste action will do nothing

Hi John,

This is a known issue being tracked here (We also provide a workaround there):

Cannot paste text in image alt (in image tag inside rich text field)

Thanks for sharing this video with us and I can reproduce the issue too. It seems that we can’t copy paste in alt text. I'll let the product team know about this bug. For the moment, you can type the alt text directly in the alt text field instead of copy paste.

If we have any update on this we'll update you in that thread.

Thanks.
