To reproduced this problem:
0. Start Writer
1. On "Format" toolbar select any text (say "Times" or 16) and copy
2. In document create table with several rows and columns
3. select several cells and press Ctrl-V
Expected: in all selected cells appears copied text
Actually: in first cell text correct, on others something like !#>#4#5#@#6#8#<#>

reproducible in 3.3.4, 3.4.2, 3.5.0 on Fedora 64 bit and Windows XP 32 bit

As source of text to copy we can use Address field of web browser or any field with manually entered text on this web page

Pretty old issue, I also see it with OOo 3.3, OOo 3.1.1, OOo 1.1.4

Source can also be a Seamonkey combo box, a Tag from a Saia PG5 FuPla (PLC programming software), Sunbird Fields (Title), Input into this "Additional Comments:" input field ...

I can't find an AOOo Issue, strange!

WORKSFORME

Create new writer document. Write text "test" select, copy. Insert table with many rows and columns. Copy several fields, paste, see "test" in all those selected cells. Yey :)
