Screenshots pasted direclty into Devlog cause error

I noticed this before and it hit me again today, so I'm asking if anyone knows why when I "paste" a screen shot directly from my memory buffer into a new Devlog page, I can see the image, add a title, move it around the page, but.... I cannot save the Devlog. It gives me a strange error, "Can't talk to server try again later". If I try to use the <> and look at the HTML-- It hangs and does nothing. 

I found a workaround. The only way to save the Devlog page is to:

  1. Save the Screenshots as PNG file in a folder
  2. Delete what I pasted into the Devlog page use the include image feature to "upload" the PNG.
  3.  After all images have been replaced using 1 and 2 above, I can save the Devlog-- no problem.

I also notice that after the images have been uploaded, I can see my HTML using <>. So that works too.

So I got it working but... Why do I have to do this? Feels like a bug. Just pasting in images from screenshots is sooooo.. much easier. Can someone comment on this issue? Fixing it would be nice but... I know everyone is busy.

Best
