I just now signed up with Hostmysite web server and they downloaded WP 2.6.1 for me as part of their start up package.
At least you get an image.
So, far I can’t get WP to download any images. I’ve used both browsers, I’ve used both file selections.
I can get URL to post a picture, but even EBAY doesn’t do things that way anymore.
So, far WP 2.6.1 is a complete disaster. Or it’s Hostmysite web host.
I can’t even do one plugin.

I don’t have the nuke-all problem easier, but this thing does still bug me…

Several of the things that you’ve mentioned + there’s some weird interim stage in their upload status process where it’s kind of displaying this rectangle with the name of the image in it (or something like that, can’t recall it perfectly at the moment). Anyway, if I’m ever on an iffy connection I never know – does that mean I’m screwed? or does that mean keep waiting?

Interesting. It has always done this for me on FF/Safari/Opera… all on Mac.

It doesn’t nuke on insert for me, either in Opera or Firefox. Does it still nuke if you unselect after copying? Could it be a Safari-only or Mac-only issue?
