Bug description
When I edit a message I've already sent, the UI will seemingly allow me to paste in an image copied from my browser. When I send the edited message, though, instead of updating the existing message, it sends a new message.
Steps to reproduce
- Copy an image into the clipboard, e.g. by going to Chrome browser, holding down on some image, and selecting "copy".
- In Signal, send a text-only message
- Press down on the message you just sent, then select "Edit" in the resulting pop-up menu.
- Hold down in the edit box, and in the resulting pop-up, select "Image" to paste in the image.
- Send the edited message
Actual result: The above sends a modified copy of the old message, this time with the image attached.
Expected result: The old message should be edited in-place to have the pasted image attached.
