Error trying to paste a screenshot on Windows 11

Trying to paste a screenshot into jspaint.app, I got an error:

TypeError: blob is null

read_image_file@https://jspaint.app/src/functions.js:3515:2
paste_image_from_file@https://jspaint.app/src/functions.js:1578:17

DataTransferItem's getAsFile method can return null even when kind is "file" -- WHY??

> item
DataTransferItem { kind: "file", type: "image/png" }

> item.getAsFile()
null
> item.getAsString()
Uncaught TypeError: DataTransferItem.getAsString: At least 1 argument required, but only 0 passed
    <anonymous> debugger eval code:1

This occurred when trying to paste a screenshot of a notification from Windows 11 prompting me to disable notifications from Firefox, even though there haven't been any, and it's very ironically the only annoying notification I'm experiencing. The notification can't be turned off through any proper means.. Is Windows blocking saving the screenshot while the notification's ellipsis menu is open? I wasn't able to save the screenshot.
