Copy/Paste does not work in LibreOffice 4.1.4.2 Spreadsheet and writer.

Did you install any LO extensions?
Do you reproduce this with a brand new file?

Could you try after renaming your LO directory profile? (see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile)

ALl works fine for me in 4.1.4.2
I think with some user support, questions can be solved ?

I have no LO extensions. This problem is evident in both new and old files, but not in other (not LO applications). I have uninstalled 4.1.4.2 and installed the previous release of LO (4.0.6) and there are no problems. When I reinstall 4.1.4.2 the problems reappear.

On Windows 7 with 4.1.4.2, I don't reproduce this too.

rjpallett: what about with a brand new LO directory profile? Did you download LO from official website (http://www.libreoffice.org/download)?

Finally, you can try the "raw method":
- uninstall any Libreoffice/Apache OpenOffice
- remove any LO/AOOo directory in Program Files if any
- rename your LO directory profile (see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile)
- clean your Windows registry with a free tool (like ccleaner)
- install 4.1.4.2 (from official website: http://www.libreoffice.org/download)

Give a try with this very simple example:
- open a brand new file in Writer
- type "test"
- copy paste the word
Does it fail too?

Uninstalled LO.
Cleaned registry.
Checked that all residual LO files/folders were removed.
Restarted PC & reinstalled LO,
All now working well.
Many thanks for your help.
