Error when pasting in an image prior selecting topic

[JaredBusch]

This has annoyed me for ages over at mangolassi.it and i finally decided to try it here. Same error.

If you start a new topic and past in an image from your clipboard prior to selecting a category, you get a permissions error.

Is this a plugin bug or a nodebbb bug? i did not post on github since I was not sure which one to post to.

A follow on to this, that I think is 100% nodebb.

The uploading % is showing the HTML % instead of the %.

It did not used to be that way prior to the 1.4.0 upgrade

This is expected behavior. Upload privileges are category-based, so attempting an upload without selecting a category will fail every time.

Is that an issue?

Then it should not let the upload get to 100% in the first place?

Yes.

1. It is not the correct thing to show
2. it looks like crap
3. it was not like that before

I upload all the time on poor 4G LTE connections, I would much rather see the correct character on my screen.

I didn't notice that it let the upload start before rejecting it. That is indeed a bug.

I may have misunderstood you. With regards to the %, is it actually displaying the text % on the screen, and not a %?

I think @JaredBusch means 100% is displayed in the composer (preview is showing 100% correctly) instead of 100%, and that previously in composer you could see the % character instead %

@jarey so what I just said. It shows the actually text for the HTML character code for %, and not the character itself in the composer textbox.

Correct, look at the composer side of the screenshot.
