Comment 1 V Stuart Foote 2018-07-10 18:03:59 UTC 
Confirmed on Windows 10 Home 64-bit en-US with
Version: 6.2.0.0.alpha0+ (x64)
Build ID: d27e4007c697f5eb78181181a0ddcd663ac265b2
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: default; 
TinderBox: Win-x86_64@42, Branch:master, Time: 2018-07-10_00:34:24
Locale: en-US (en_US); Calc: CL

The clipboard holds the copied text in multiple formats including CF_TEXT, CF_UNICODETEXT, Rich Text Format, HTML Format, Richtext Format, Star Embed Source (XML), HTML (HyperText Markup Language), Link, and Star Object Descriptor (XML)

With it selected with cursor focus, the Paste (Ctrl+v) into the Drawing Text Box object does paste some flavor of styled text (either HTML, RTF, or XML can't tell).  But the Edit -> Paste Unformatted Text (Ctrl+Alt+Shift+v) does not respond; and Edit -> Paste Special is inactive.

Also reproducible in

Version: 5.3.0.0.alpha1+
Build ID: 4136757b4e51c4e6f7cb4132c95538a7f831ef2c
CPU Threads: 4; OS Version: Linux 4.13; UI Render: default; VCL: gtk3; Layout Engine: new; 
Locale: ca-ES (ca_ES.UTF-8); Calc: group

The paste special option is disabled, I guess we should do the same for unformatted option....
