In iMessage, the Mail app and Slack, if I copy an image to clipboard, then use Cmd+V to paste it into an active iMessage conversation, nothing happens. However, in apps like Discord or Firefox, this works fine.
However, if I click Edit -> Paste or right click the message box and click paste, it appears. It's really frustrating to have Cmd+V not work. Does anyone know why? It's always been this way, since I bought this Macbook earlier this year, refurbished.

With help from @user3052786 , I've found the issue.
The reason why many (but not all) apps were failing to paste with the shortcut (but Edit menu -> Paste or Right click -> Paste worked fine) is because I previously followed the following tutorial on how to make my clipboard content attempt to match the output document's text style on paste.

I did this because I was using OneNote for Mac and pasting a lot of content between different documents for note-taking.
The fix: Simply remove the 'CMD+V -> Paste and Match Style' mapping from Keyboard shortcuts in MacOS Settings, as shown in reverse by the tutorial.
