Stupid clipboard bug: PS pastes previously copied image

[Bug Hater]

This drives me nuts.

Photoshop just won't paste the last copied image (from internets). It always pastes the previous one. So if I copy image #1, then image #2, then press ctrl-v in Photoshop, it pastes image #1.

Attached is a video (with cats!), illustrating the problem.

Looks like this is a very old bug, there are posts from 1,2,3 years ago with the same problem here and on reddit.

It bugged me in the old version, it still bugs me in the new one. Problem occurs ONLY in photoshop. I also didn't have this problem before around 2020 version.

Does anyone have a solution?

Copying twice doesn't help. Workarounds like paste it into some other program and then copy it again to paste into Photoshop are killing me.

Important note: I'm on Windows, apparantly it doesn't happen on Mac.

If you paste into a different app, what happens? Do you get the image you just copied? I have not seen this on either Mac or Windows.

It happens only in PS. If I paste into other app, it works fine — that's the workaround I have to use (paste into other app, copy again from there)

here are some posts on reddit about this problem (1, 2 and 3 years ago)

I asked if they still got had this bug.

Yeah, I see this once in a while. Not so often that it's a problem; just every once in a blue moon. When it happens, I just undo, paste again and forget all about it.
