Description
In Ultra Course announcements, when users are composing text and importing an image from Unsplash, the image is consistently pasted at the top of the text editor, irrespective of the cursor's location in the lower areas of the text editor. This behavior is observed even when the cursor is not actively positioned at the top, causing an unexpected layout issue.
Steps to Replicate
Log into Blackboard Learn Ultra Experience as an administrator
Open any Ultra Course > Click on Announcements
Create an announcement > Paste in text from Notepad
Add an Unsplash Image (it should be added above the text)
Add more text, either typed in or pasted
Try to add another image.
The image will be added at the top of the text box
Observed Behavior:
The image is imported in the top of the text and the cursor was at the end of it.
Expected Behavior:
The image is imported where the cursor is located.

Information
This issue has been resolved in the new Blackboard Content Editor and will not be fixed in the current editor.
Key updates:
Blackboard is rebuilding the Content Editor from the ground up, and this issue has been fixed in the new editor.
Development efforts are focused on the new editor; therefore, content-authoring fixes and enhancements will not be backported to the current editor.
Institutions can evaluate the new editor through the Early Access Program:
Rich Content Editor: Early AccessBeginning with the August release, institutions can enable a beta experience for Blackboard Documents, allowing instructors to create content using either the current or new editor.
From September through December, monthly updates will continue to improve feature parity, introduce new capabilities, and refine the user experience based on feedback.
The new editor is currently planned for broader availability across Blackboard, including Announcements, Assignments, Tests, Journals, Discussions, and other content-authoring areas with the December release.
