Can you provide more details as request in the bug report template? Are you using the Codex CLI or Extension? Which version? Which platform? Which terminal emulator? Are you pasting an image or the path to an image?
Ah, strange. It wasn't working before but as I try to reproduce it now it seems to be working. It started working after I upgraded to the latest version of Codex.
(For the record: this is Codex CLI running on Ubuntu 24.04, trying to paste a screenshot as well as images from Chrome.)
I experienced this on 0.89.0 with gpt-5.2-codex (medium) on macOS.

Tried both an image from my clipboard and one drag-and-dropped from disk, no dice. Then I started a new conversation and there it worked.
I tried forking and compacting in my original conversation, but nothing could get it to work.
