Copy/cut/paste works normally until a row contains an image

Hi

I need help, I have used excel for decades, and never had an issue with images (besides occasionally taking a little while to copy, cut and paste a row). However, since last week, I can't select a row, copy, cut and paste, if in the row is an image.

Excel version (16.113.3)

MacOS version (Tahoe 26.2)

This is occuring whether in a brand-new workbook or an old workbook.
I have deleted excel for applications, and reloaded, 3 times, I have shut down and restarted multiply times, I have had 3 people from Excel try to trouble shoot, 2 of them used 'Quick Assist' with no luck to sort the issue.
I have to be able to work with images, or else my excel is not suitable after being able to use excel for decades.
I'd love assistance.
Regards Vanessa
