Description alium 2016-03-23 06:44:11 UTC

I'd like to copy some text from one document into another, but when I click on paste, or press ctrl+v nothing happens. Works only Ctrl+Shift+V.

This happen with VCL GTK3 only, VCL GTK2 works normally and i can copy text. 

Bug reported in Archlinux too - https://bugs.archlinux.org/index.php?do=details&action=details.removevote&task_id=48632

Steps to reproduce:
Open two new documents (LO with GTK3 VCL), type some text than copy it, and try to paste it into the other document.

still does not work (for test I created a new user, so the basic setting off user account, forced it with SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN = gtk3).

NEW due to it being already confirmed in the Arch bug report.

I can't reproduce on Ubuntu either.

Comment 4 alium 2016-04-09 22:22:07 UTC

it looks like the same problem - in Fedora

Comment 5 Albert 2016-08-23 07:27:34 UTC

We have the same problem in Ubuntu 16.04 with latest updates.

Currently we have no solution.
   libreoffice-gtk3 installed - can't copy/paste between documents.
   libreoffice-gtk3 removed   - users complain that fonts are not smooth and thin, and the eyes quickly get tired.
   libreoffice-gtk installed  - strange bugs with the interface on relatively heavy files.

LibreOffice version: 1:5.1.4-0ubuntu1

Comment 6 Albert 2016-08-24 11:27:24 UTC

The problem is resolved by downgrading whole terminal server from Ubuntu 16.04 to 14.04.

The packages installed: libreoffice libreoffice-gtk

LibreOffice version: 1:4.2.8-0ubuntu4

Comment 7 Caolán McNamara 2016-10-18 13:24:52 UTC

Definitely works by now in 5.2 series in general. All the referenced rhbz issues are in master. I should probably backport all the remaining cnp work now it seems to have settled down.
