Description: When an input field is placed inside a protected section, pasting to the input field stops working. Similar behaviour was reported 3 years ago in this AAO forum thread: https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=70135 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a new Writer document. 2. Add a section (unprotected). 3. Place an input field inside the section. 4. Copy some text to the clipboard. 5. Move cursor inside the input field and paste text - it works as expected. 6. Protect the section containing the input field. 7. Move cursor inside the input field and try to paste text again - nothing happens this time. Actual Results: After protecting the section containing the input field, pasting to the input field stopped working. Expected Results: Pasting text to input fields should work even when they are placed inside a protected section. They are frequently used this way in application forms, for example.

Bug is still present - if you move the cursor in an input field (single click to select followed by another single click) which is placed inside a protected section and then try to paste text from clipboard, nothing happens. On the other hand, if the section is not protected, pasting works as expected. Nevertheless, since version 6.0 (tdf#79877), double clicking on input fields opens an input dialog where pasting works, even when the input field is placed inside a protected section.

Bug is still present, albeit there is a workaround described in comment #3. 6.2.5.2 (x64) 1ec314fa52f458adc18c4f025c545a4e8b22c159 Windows 10.0 pt-BR (pt_BR)
Works for me (i.e., can change text in an input field placed in a write protected section) Version: 6.5.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) Build ID: 444f0d256957544d26b9af9a0898364e829df1b5 CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18363; UI render: GL; VCL: win; Locale: en-US (en_DK); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded
I guess we should close. Pasting without invoking the field editing dialog does not paste into the field contents anyway. It pastes normal text.
