Steps to reproduce

(I only tested on macOS)

  1. Open a sandbox vault and add a pdf file to it.
  2. Create a new note and enter live preview mode.
  3. In the editor, embed the pdf in the note: ![[file.pdf]]
  4. Press Cmd+A and then Cmd+C to “copy all”.
  5. Press Cmd+V to paste the copied content to the editor.

Did you follow the troubleshooting guide? [Y/N]

Expected result

The copied content should be just ![[file.pdf]].

Actual result

The text content of the embedded pdf file is copied to the clipboard.
