While there are "marching ants", this happens when you press these keys: - pressing Return inserts from the clipboard, empties the clipboard and removes the ants. - pressing Escape removes the ants. - pressing Ctrl+V inserts from the clipboard.

MS office seems the work the same way.. So personally tend to close this one. There are two workarounds: * Use Escape instead of Enter * By disabling the "marching ants"
Setting this back to UNCONFIRMED for now. Not sure if this behaviour should be marked as by design.
Steps from Description don't make sense. Why would you press Return? We can say you quit from copying. Otherwise use Esc. Not worth going into and I'd say not a bug.
"Why would you press Return?" So I can see what I'm trying to do, and so I don't get a migraine. "Otherwise use Esc." It's not an obvious solution in Calc, except perhaps to Excel users, and not a solution in Draw, where it loses focus. That said the expert-level hack to disable the animation is a more effective solution in both Calc, and Draw.
