paste into animation editor isn't working?

I'm on ubuntu, with chrome, but can't paste images into the editor if I copied something from outside of it. I can copy/paste inside the editor, but I can't paste something copied from construct into other programs either. I was able to do this before switching to linux this month, so I'm wondering if anyone else has had this kind of issue and knows of a way to get it to work again. doesn't seem to be a chrome issue because I can paste into the searchbar and this text box like normal.

That usually happens if there’s no valid animation selected. Try creating or selecting an animation first, then copy the frames and paste again. If nothing was copied, the paste option won’t show.

Restarting the editor can also help if the UI glitches.

I work on Linux, and the clipboard works fine, copying selected graphics in both directions, for example from another editor or screenshot.

Check your browser settings for permissions for the site “editor.construct.net”.

it has the permissions, though that was probably a good check. i think the problem must be happening somewhere else since like i said i can copy-paste inside of the editor, but i haven't quite figured out where still even though it's certainly in the clipboard somewhere. at first i thought it was a wine thing but it happens from native programs too.

thank you for your help though!
