Description: I expect that pasting special, Text only, would only paste the text, without ANY formatting. However, if I copy to the clipboard a cell that has one word colored red, that formatting will be pasted even if "Formats" is unchecked in the Paste Special dialog. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open the attached file 2. Copy cell A1 3. Paste Special into a new file, checking only "Text" (make sure "Formats" is unchecked) Actual Results: The colored word is pasted Expected Results: Only the text should be pasted, without any formatting Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/61.0.3163.100 Safari/537.36
Created attachment 137275 [details] Copy the cell (note the portion in red)
Reproducible, maybe because the format it's part of the text format not the cell format. Version: 5.4.3.1 (x64) Build ID: 32c8895c6cae21571f364dbb059f419a743ee44d CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 6.19; UI render: default; Locale: es-ES (es_ES); Calc: group

I change the title to indicate that "Paste special - Text only, still pastes direct text formatting". But that looks like NotABug because you indeed paste text, but with it's formatting. Moreover, you can use Paste Unformatted Text to paste a simple unformatted text. So I find it appropriate to close. What I conclude from this bug and Bug 121452 is that we lack good help pages on this, or I didn't find them in https://help.libreoffice.org/6.2/bs/text/scalc/guide/main.html.
