Yo that 64GB is really massive for the R5 2600, also I'll never suggest
uploading bugs recording on YouTube okay. 
Here is the solution for your issue: 

Your Neochat (Matrix Client app) have an input handler which takes your
messages as input.
This issue is a regressive focus handling state bug, this issue is in the newly
released regression on NeoChat from git master. Anyway you should just use
NeoChat from Flathub, remove it from your system and install the Flathub
version. 

When you copy an image and just paste it simply into the input bar, the UI
allocates an attachment token, but when you reply to a message  before hitting
send, the input state simply drops and the freshly buffered image is replaced
by the :filename .. without having both. 

So here the conclusion: 
This is a confirmed regression of the active development Branch (git master)
please use the 26.04.3 Flathub version.

Honestly I would just save the image and then reply to the message with the
image by uploading it later myself instead of this and no clipboard hurdles
then. 

It can fixed by hunting the exact .cpp file ehich handles the exact Clipboard
pasting in NeoChat.
