Details

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:106.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/106.0

Steps to reproduce:

paste screenshot into image compose window (Linux, XFCE)

Actual results:

jpg being pasted

Expected results:

Format of the image should be set according to clipboard.paste_image_type setting. Now, having default value of 1, I get JPG pasted instead of PNG.

Hi
I feel confused, now on 102.4.2 it is working properly.
But I am sure I had this improper behaviour on two different machines.

If it cannot be reproduced by others, please close this as invalid.

I did some more testing with xfce4-screenshooter:

  • small pics are OK - PNG,
  • bigger (like 300px) become jpeg when pasted after screenshot
  • but the same pics, when pasted to GIMP, then copied and pasted into Thunderbird - are still PNG.

I do not understand it. I am pretty sure I have never had such an issue before.

I'm experiencing the same issue.

Running Thunderbird 102.11.0 (package installed from Mozilla site) on Debian 11 with XFCE.

When I take a snapshot with xfce4-screenshooter, choose «copy» and then «paste» the image in a new message window, the resulting image looks quite blurry and undefined; it lacks quality.

Under image URL source I get «data:image/jpeg;base64» while «clipboard.paste_image_type» is set to «1».

This issue does not happen on Thunderbird for Windows 10 (the pasted image looks right) neither LibreOffice on the same Debian box.

Better with version 115?
