Where is the problem occurring?

I encountered the problem while using the application (Frontend)

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Safari

Current behavior

When I copy any text in iOS and try to paste it into the Description field for a card, it creates a .txt file attachment to the card and brings up the file creation naming overlay.

If the contents are plain text (copied from Notes or Safari web page), I can hit 'X' to close the overlay and the contents are in the Description text box.
If the clipboard contents are the URL from a Safari share card and I hit 'X' to close the overlay, then nothing is changed on the card.

Desired behavior

I would expect a plain-text paste to enter the plain-text contents of my clipboard into the text box.

Steps to reproduce

Copy any text to clipboard in iOS.
Open Planka card.
Tap text entry box for "Description" to enter edit mode.
Tap text area again to bring up context menu.
Tap "Paste"
[overlay appears]
7a. With plain or rich text clipboard contents: close overlay, text is inserted.
7b. With URL from Safari share card clipboard: close overlay, no text is inserted.

Other information

This seems like it may be related to the feature (that works really well!) when pasting an image from the clipboard? It's a similar behavior.

Hey! Thanks for reporting this. Looks like you're using v1, and this should already be fixed in v2 since we introduced the new markdown editor and took care of those little issues.

Oh, hey, I didn't even realize I wasn't up to date.

Upgraded, tested in iOS, and it works!

Thanks, appreciate it.
