Description [REDACTED] 2016-09-02 23:04:49 UTC
I have found recently that if I copy some text for example from any of the LibreOffice programs, that if I then paste it into another program outside of that suite then it pastes it fine. But if I then close LibreOffice then trying to paste the text does nothing, so closing LibreOffice also gets rid of the contents in the clipboard from it which is not ideal.

I am running Ubuntu GNOME 16.04.1 with GNOME 3.20 and LibreOffice version "5.1.4.2 10m0(Build:2)" (the latest version available from the official Ubuntu repositories).

I initially reported this issue here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1619814 However I thought I should also do so upstream.

Hello cooks.go.hungry, *,
I can confirm your bug with

OS: Debian Testing AMD64
DE/DM: XFCE 4.12

but back to
OOo: 3.2.0
OOO320m12 (Build:9483)
(parallel installed, following the instructions from https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel/Linux)

As this is the earliest version I have installed and with which I can reproduce your bug, I am setting version to "Inherited From OOo" and status to "NEW". Interestingly, copying text from Iceweasel / Firefox-esr does not clear the clipboard ... ;)
HTH
Thomas.

I had a similar bug, however, mine was when I tried copying from one instance, closing it and pasting to another instance. Causing libreoffice to crash.

Dear [REDACTED],

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
