Which stock image provider are you using?

Is the problem that the image is not added, or is the application crashing?

I can confirm this behaviour for Unsplash. With Pixabay and Pexels it works.

What I noticed was a pop-up for the latter two to accept some warning about usage of the images. Didn't see this for Unsplash.

Note: I also tested in Designer. Since I hadn't accept the warning for Unplash yet in AD, I saw the pop-up. Further no change; couldn't add the Unsplash image.

But unless you're using the 1.9.2 beta versions, I would expect an application crash when you try to use Unsplash, as documented in the FAQ:

Edit: Ah, reading more carefully I see that on a Mac it may either crash or do nothing.
