A bug where pasting rich text (e.g. from Word) on macOS desktop incorrectly inserts a blank or unwanted image instead of text, due to the clipboard exposing a PDF/image flavor. Multiple fixes address preferring text over image when handling clipboard content on paste.

How this cluster was grouped
  • Link evidence (partly structural links): some members are connected by structural evidence (shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference); the rest are joined by an automated relevance judgement over their text.
  • Members outside that structural core may belong to a different underlying problem.
  • Pairwise link density 0.37: the share of item pairs that carry a link, counting a structural link in full and a relevance-only link at 0.36. 1.00 means every pair is linked.
