Hi ! Selecting text automatically places it in the clipboard. To reproduce this bug : - create an empty presentation - in the title zone (works also in the content zone) type in "aaaa bbbb" - using the mouse, select "bbbb" (by double-clicking or simply selecting text) - type CTRL+C to copy the text in the clipboard - using the mouse, select "aaaa" - type CTRL+V to paste the text from the clipboard - the "aaaa" word is replaced by "aaaa", not by "bbbb" or - create an empty presentation - in the title zone (works also in the content zone) type in "bbbb" - using the mouse, select "bbbb" (by double-clicking or simply selecting text) - place the cursor after the word "bbbb" - type CTRL+V - the "bbbb" word is appended to the line.
This behaviour appeared in the 6.3.0.1 RC, it is not exhibited in the 6.2.5.2 release.
