Description: When I copy something from Thunderbird mail client or off an internet page into Calc, this does not work properly unless I first copy it to a text editor and from there to Calc Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select text in source (e.g. Thunderbird) 2. Copy into Calc 3. Actual Results: In many cases (e.g. from a web page) it will not paste using CTL+V but if I use context menu, it does. When I use a function like Trim to remove spaces, it does not. Expected Results: Should find spaces.

Hello Elmar , Thank you for reporting this. I've checked the text copied from Thunderbird using the following service that view non-printable Unicode characters: https://www.soscisurvey.de/tools/view-chars.php I see the text copied from Thunderbird have the Unicode Character 'NO-BREAK SPACE' (U+00A0) [1], Which is not recognized as normal space by trim. I also checked the CLEAN which it's supposed to remove non printable characters but it didn't. Will look at it further later D.V. ------- 1. U+00A0: http://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/a0/index.htm
I think the issue with CLEAN function falls under bug 97706. Not sure, if this report should be closed as wontfix in favour of bug 97706
