    Searched for "emoji" and skimmed through all messages.
    Search terms to make finding this issue easier: emoji, smiley, Emoji image of, copy paste

Bug description

When copying a message with an emoji (or just the emoji), and pasting it in the message box, not the emoji image is pasted (nor the emoji-text representation (like :+1:)), but Emoji image of 'emoji_name'

Steps to reproduce

  1. Have a past message with an emoji in it.
  2. Copy it.
  3. Paste it into the compose field.

Actual result:
Compose field contains: _Emoji image of 'X'_
(where x = name of the emoji (eg. muscle)

Expected result:
Compose field contains: :muscle:

Thanks for the report! I've got a fix ready which moves our alt data to aria-label so the title is copied once more.

Thanks for the report! I've got a fix ready which moves our alt data to aria-label so the title is copied once more.

I also saw this bug on Linux in 1.13.0. However, it looks like it's fixed for me by 1.14.1, which was released yesterday.

I still have the originally described behavior in v1.14.1-beta.1

@mammuth Oh okay. I'm not sure what's going on then. Perhaps unrelated bugs, but that seems odd.

It'll be in the next beta.

Fixed in v1.15.0-beta.5
