This only affects the kde5 VCL plugin. version: master build as of commit 1f5698ba8b62e62999b0efb363916a91bdd54c94 Steps to reproduce: 1) Open a new writer document and type some text 2) select the text 3) copy the text, e.g. using Ctrl + C 4) open another new Writer document 5) try to paste the text, e.g. using Ctrl + V Result: Nothing happens. Expected result: The copied text should be inserted. The same also happens when trying to copy text from Writer to a non-LibreOffice application and vice versa.
drats, it's indeed not workin' across the documents
The following commits implement copy'n'paste for qt5 frontend: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=de40fe552e51e1d634c2401afef305ba4af91799 https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=309bd0e920aae38c94f2c83dd5ff7d8b9feb9847 https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=6b4abed111c67152a2c0c3a498071f37bce93b67 https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=3f29d2cb7ccb7150d5ecd8f6e2bdc2f0de9efb1d https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=f2c4b6eeb62e9ceb102cccf56c823309df8c6a4a https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=ff1bd0f189635a6efe84337f8c6b4a366e7501e2 It ain't perfect, only plain text, HTML and bitmaps are supported. For other data types, pls open new bugs
Thanks! For now, I've created bug 120624 and bug 120625. I'll do more testing (e.g. copying the whole content of more coplex documents) once those have been addressed.
