Image cut and paste breaks image

[caesarsgrunt]

When cutting and pasting images in the rich editor, the image src and the link href are both changed from absolute links to relative links, resulting in a broken image in the post.

The image still shows fine in the admin (the new url is relative to wp-admin) but it doesn't work on the article page itself.

Additionally, the alignment class is lost when cutting and pasting the image.

This depends entirely on the browser. FF changes the src, Safari and IE seem to keep it the same. The same happens when you copy/paste a link from another browser tab/window. In addition FF won't let you access the clipboard from JS (security feature) so not much we can do to fix it.

Best is to report this on FF's bugtracker.

There was a change in 2.8 ​that removes the class attribute when pasting images. It works in the same browser in 2.7, and it works in a base installation of TinyMCE, so I assume it is something in WordPress. I will investigate this further and then maybe open a new ticket on it - unless this has been reported somewhere else?
