Drag and dropping an image sets URL to about:blank

[cmcgill 0]

This seems to have started happening in the last couple of updates.  When I drag and drop an image into a new note, the URL field gets set to about:blank.  I think have to clear the field, so I can paste in the URL that I want associated with the note.  

Is there any way to disable this "feature"?

What is the source of the images you are dropping? It's not happening for me, with images from my computer.

It's when I copy an image from a website, specifically a clipping from newspapers.com.  I use newspapers.com's clipping function, so that I can easily retrieve the source of the clipping.  I know I could use the Evernote Web Clipper, but that wouldn't work for what I want.

Thanks for the added details. It seems that this may be a pretty localized issue, not a general one with drag-and-drop, then. It's not surprising that some kind of URL would come along with an image from a Website. "about:blank" is usually for some kind of popup, maybe Javascript, I think (not sure). It may be that for this particular task, you'll need to drag in the image and then copy the URL in separately.

That's exactly what I do, but I have to clear the about:blank URL before I can paste in the actual one.  I'd prefer it if the URL didn't get filled in with about:blank.  More of an annoyance than a real problem.
