The app shouldn’t hang when you paste, of course, but you’ll get more control if you save the image instead of just copying it to the clipboard (and you’ll be able to use it again in other documents).

It might be more practical if you’re only using it once, but it does mean that (when it works!) the image is embedded in the document. If you save the image to a file you can use linking instead of embedding, which makes the Affinity file smaller and allows you to replace the image more easily.

This is very likely an issue related to the clipboard manager. Even if you've turned it off there's probably something somewhere still causing a conflict. Over the years we have had a number of customers state that their clipboard managers (and there are many) crash, don't work, cause hangs etc. 

If you get chance, try completely removing any trace of it and see if you can reproduce.

I also have an M1 and I've just tested this from a number of sites and folders and copy > pasting into the app does not causing a hang for me.
