Description Allin Cottrell 2011-09-26 15:37:34 UTC

I have a GTK-based app that offers a "copy as RTF" option for some
text windows, and I'm having a problem pasting this material into
the word processor (Writer) in LibreOffice 3.4.3.

With OpenOffice.org 3.2 as the copy target, the material on the 
clipboard is recognized correctly as RTF and successfully pasted,
using ctrl-v or /Edit/Paste.

With LibreOffice 3.4.3 as the copy target, the material cannot be
pasted, either via ctrl-v or /Edit/Paste. I get an error message
saying the the specified format is not available.

This is not a perfectly controlled experiment, since OO.org and
LibreOffice are on different machines, but the GTK app that is
the source for the RTF material is compiled from the same source
on the two machines.

Please attach a test kit!

Sorry for the noise. I have experimented some more and
the failure of the RTF copy/paste operation is the result
of another difference between the two systems I'm using,
not the OpenOffice/LibreOffice version.

So WFM for now.

Please feel free to reopen this bug if you find out that the problem still exists with the current stable LibreOffice version
