What's Wrong?

I am have tried using mac terminal and the iterm both are giving me same results - I try to attach images or screenshots . it just gets stuck on "pasting text..." and then hangs. I have to start a new session everytime. Can`t attach any images via draga nd drop. My other machine I can !

<img width="256" height="104" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/f4298bba-8f3c-4ffd-b330-5e5482a8b0bb" />

What Should Happen?

It should just paste the image or atleast mention path when drag and drop - like my other machine does
