Does not appear to repro on Windows.

To test, I right-clicked a link on Twitter and selected _Copy Link Address_. I then went over to my Slack tab, and right-clicked in the message input. Selecting _Paste_ resulted in the pasted URL being displayed.

I attempted other means of pasting (ctrl+v, right-click > paste without formatting); all succeeded. This appears to be the results @srirambv also found on Windows.

Update: @mrose17 was unable to repro from macOS

The original user reported the issue no longer repros.

@jonathansampson I can still see the issue. I am not able to paste links to slack message box.
Slack version : 2.6.3
Macbook Pro: 10.12.6

Well, I restarted my macbook as I could see some of the other applications were affected to with this copy-paste issue.
I don't know why but the issue was not there after restart.

cannot paste into slack with clipboard manager copyq

Today I got the same copy/paste problem and could fix by following these steps:

1. Open your application folder
2. Open the utilities subfolder
3. Open the Activity Monitor app
4. Type “pboard” into the search box at the top right
5. In the search results below, there should only be one result — a row listing the “pboard” process. Highlight it by clicking on it.
6. Click the “x” button at the top left of the window which represents ‘quit this process’

Once you’ve done that, OS X will kill the faulty PBoard process and re-establish it with a fresh one automatically. It should be back to normal.
