Bug Found on your Libra office document

Problem description: 

Digital image of electrical plug appears with pasting items on libre word doc

Steps to reproduce:


1. ....


In the situation I did, I cut an item from a web dictionary  and pasted it on my Libre office document  and after pasting it a plug (a yellow plug on an image of a blank page) appears, with text "object 1" under the plug.

2. ....
3. ....

Current behavior:

Expected behavior:


Should be no plug image appearing.

I should only have what I copied and pasted.


My OS is Windows 8. New computer  HP  desktop
Firefox browser.

I had the same problem on an old computer with Windows xp  and also on Linux Ubuntu. On older versions of Libre office. 



              
Operating System: Windows 8
Version: 4.2.5.2 release
Last worked in: 4.2.1.1 release

Which URL was that?
Comment 2 DavidM 2014-07-05 02:18:01 UTC
I don't think it matters what url.

It has happened many times from many different websites.

But in this case it was this one:

http://thelawdictionary.org/cause-of-action/



I work with a lot of definitions and I get definitions of words from many different websites.

And it happens often.

Usually when I get to using about  30 or so pages of a libre document, but sometimes as in the example I sent you, it was on the first page.


When I am using around 30+ pages,  another thing happens.


And that is;  the first page  text starts to break up and does strange things with text.


Please fix that too.

Hello DavidM,

I can confirm that the 'Object 1' OLE object does appear when you copy and paste it from the provided URL and it is appearing because you are copying and pasting the advertisement that is present on the page.

You have two solutions to solve this issue.
1) select portions of the webpage at a time that dont have advertisements in between them
2) select the entire page and after pasting, remove the OLE objects that get pasted

Hi Philip,


Thank you for your reply.

Although I think there is more to it than that,

I will keep that in mind next time I am doing that procedure.

I will let you know, if there are any more problems.

Thanks,

David
