Keep getting the "Image Optimization" dialog when pasting plain text

I'm trying to copy a set of values directly into the code for an HTML document I'm working on. (Before you ask: yes, this stuff has to be hard coded; no, I can't put it in a database; no, it wasn't my idea to do it this way) Even though I'm copying just text, when I hit ctrl-v to paste where I want it, Dreamweaver thinks I'm trying to paste in an image. I can hit "Cancel" on the dialog (or just hit the Esc key) and then repeat the ctrl-v and it works as expected at that point. I've already set the "Text only" option in the Copy/Paste section of Preferences, so I know that's not the solution.

Any idea why it's doing that and how I can get it to stop?

    I have not had this problem either.  Check all your code above for an un-closed <img> tag.  That's the only thing I can think of that might cause such behavior.

    I have not had that problem. I often copy and paste code/text into my documents, saves having to type and make errors.

    There must be a reason why Dreamweaver thinks that you are pasting an image. Could it have anything to do with the code that you are pasting?
