Cannot paste in a review?

I usually type my review outside of itchio and copy and paste it into the review box (so I can write longer reviews more easily). Recently, when I tried to paste my review into the review box, nothing happened. I bring up my Notepad, and the words are copying and pasting correctly there.

I have the same problem. I thought it was because I wanted to add my gameplay-video on a review I had already published but seems this is a general problem?

Do you see any kind of error message? Are you able to bring up the browser console and see if anything is reported there. What program are you copying and pasting from?

Thanks

There's no error message, I could not post the video link when I clicked on the video button or tried to paste the link into the text field. I tried both Chrome and Safari (I have a Mac). I could see nothing in the browser console (fyi: I do use some ad blockers, maybe that has something to do with it, since the review window pops up when I want to edit it).
The "edit" menu option in the browser lit up when I tried to paste but nothing happened. It seems to be the general paste option (I also tried it with pure text). Copy & Paste in notepad works, so it seems to be an itch.io-thing. Weirdly, pasting in forum posts and comments works fine, so this seems to be limited to the review section. Again, maybe it's something with the pop-up of the review-edit? 

Fyi: I have the same bug when trying to write a review (not just edit it), I just tried. I did not have the same problem before and have last successfully reviewed a game a few days ago, so if it is a bug, it might be more recent). 

Thank you!

Hi, will there be any kind of update? I have tried to paste texts/links on a PC with different Browsers from editors & directly from youtube, for different games and nothing seems to work. I can still copy & paste links and test in comments and forum posts, so it doesn't seem to be an issue with anything else besides the review section.
