Comment:

 @sdpate48 thanks for the bug report.

 > The visual editor is forcing the user to use CTRL+V/CMD+V to paste
 contents.

 This is not the case. The visual editor shows the error message when
 pasting by using the context (right-click) menu fails. This is not new.
 That message has been there for a while. Seems that a recent security
 related change in Edge has started to trigger it.

 I agree that the text of that error message can be better. Seems it will
 be updated in the next TinyMCE version in 4.8. Also the browser menu can
 still be used, only the context menu fails. See

 @sagarprajapati not sure if this patch would work. It prevents pasting of
 HTML when the clipboard cannot be accessed. Then pasting from the context
 menu will be "plain text" but pasting with Ctrl+V or the browser menu will
 be with HTML tags and look better. Then the problems will be: "When I
 paste from the context menu, all tags disappear!" :)

 In any case this has to be fixed or improved upstream. Better to make a PR
 for TinyMCE: https://github.com/tinymce/tinymce. Maybe pasting the plain
 text and then showing an error message explaining why it is just plain
 text would be better user experience?
