Select some text in any iOS app (e.g. browser) then switch to the LibreOffice iOS app and paste the text does not work.

At least the most basic things like text and pictures should work.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Copy text from any iOS app
2. Try to paste it into the LibreOffice iOS app

Actual Results:
Pasting is not possible.

Expected Results:
Pasting of text as well as pictures should work.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Pasting text into the calc input field works (as it is a native HTML input field).

tdf#125410: Handle pasting of text/plain strings into the iOS app
Comment 3 How can I remove my account? 2019-05-21 13:12:17 UTC 
Implemented now for pasting of plain text. Handling pasting of images will be harder. As will various non-plain text formats, if there is a way to paste such.

If I copy an image to the clipboard on my iPad (in the Photos app, I press the "Share" button, then click "Copy"), I can paste it into the Notes app for instance. But in the iOS app, the on-screen keyboard has the "paste" icon greyed out, so it seems that JavaScript running in Webkit doesn't allow pasting of images? Need to investigate more.

Is hopefully mostly fixed now. Most related commits were actually marked with tdf#124752 (bug #124752).

I can copy and paste in LibreOffice Online.
However, I can't paste elements copied from other apps into LibreOffice.

When the user tries to paste, the following error is displayed.

> Please use the copy/paste buttons on your on-screen keyboard.

No on-screen keyboard is displayed anywhere on the screen.

Babbles, are you talking about web-based Online, used in a browser (Safari), or the Collabora Office app?

It is web based. This is the same for Safari mobile, Firefox and iCab.
I tried using the Collabora iOS app. In the case of the Collabora app, it seems that I can paste. But the app crashes instantly. I don't care because I don't use the Collabora app.

The version of LibreOffice is 6.2-4. Same behavior for both Writer and Calc.

Well, this bug is about the iOS app, so reporting issues in the web-based Online is not relevant here. Please file a separate bug against LibreOffice Online.
