Hello,
libre office After version 6 (I don't remember the full version extension), when I copy content from a site in internet exlorer, it only pastes once, and then doesn't do anything if I make new copies. do not copy.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. I did not remove and install.
2.6 before the version worked.
3.chrome from the copy made.

Actual Results:
copying content from internet explorer once, copying a different area again does not copy.

Expected Results:
copy and paste from multiple explorer pages. separately.
Comment 2 Timur 2019-10-09 13:25:26 UTC
I repro this in LO 6.1. and 6.4+ in Windows only. No repro 6.0. Looks like regression. 
Simple, copy from Internet Explorer and Ctrl+V paste in Writer. First paste works, subsequent not. 
Paste special works for Unformatted Text and HTML, doesn't work for RTF.
Comment 3 Timur 2019-10-09 13:33:44 UTC
I guess we had a change in default paste format in 6.1 (I don't see it in Release Notes, it should be there). So even if it looks so with Ctrl+V, that's not a relevant version. 
What's important is RTF paste special. Works in 5.1, not from 5.4. Still a regression.
Somehow 5.2. and 5.3 lack RTF in Paste Special. I guess fix went awry.

Hi Oliver. I was free to add you to CC since I noticed you do bibisect in Win. 
This is somewhat more complex because two commits should be found, per Comment 3.

tdf#115574 sot: fix Excel -> Writer paste

Reported problem is that nothing happens for paste. Direct cause is that
BITMAP is selected as the format, and Excel advertises BITMAP, but when
we try to import that, it fails. There are 3 interesting commits in the
recent history for this topic:

- commit c47db038f98aaf7aec3cbe57c4e5683591afa23e (fdo#52547 SOT: Prefer
  embedding image data to embedding linked image., 2014-02-07) was a
  bugfix due to newer firefox
- commit 538c13f3d1756f2d105115f64ab1bc0b7426eebc (fdo#78801 fdo#52547
  Paste preference is image, then html, then text., 2014-05-28) was a
  regression fix from the previous fix
- commit a96a7ce51aa98fb9ee97ea3803e2b7e648611008 (fdo#81835 Don't
  prefer GDI Metafiles to RTF/HTML, 2014-08-05), was a regression fix
  from the previous fixes

Going back to the original state shows that the Excel -> Writer use-case
used to be RTF.

Restore the old Excel -> Writer (RTF) behavior by:

- going back to the original state, ignoring the enum class conversions
- re-fix fdo#52547: prefer bitmap over html, but leave everything else
  unchanged
- fdo#78801 needs no fix in this case
- fdo#81835 needs no fix in this case
- tdf#115574 selects RTF -> table shows up

After all these complications, the actual fix is surprisingly simple.

I did bisection with a simple copy from Internet Explorer and Ctrl+V paste in Writer.
Comment 9 Miklos Vajna 2019-10-28 08:33:40 UTC
Are you sure this is a problem on LO's side, rather than IE preserving the RTF clipboard content only for the duration of a single paste? You could check the clipboard content with an external tool. If the RTF is not there on the clipboard after a first paste, this we can't do much.

I have done the following procedure:

- copy text from IE
- paste into writer
- copy another text from IE
- paste into writer

That seems not to be correct per Comment 3. Likely default paste was changed, but that's not the source of the bug. So bibisect should be done with Pate special - RTF paste in LO 5.4.

Yes, problem is only LO, because clipboard is pasted in other apps. 
Please comment on RTF paste vs. default paste.
Comment 12 Oliver Brinzing 2019-10-31 20:31:06 UTC
I have done the following procedure (bibisect-win32-5.4):

- copy text from IE
- paste special into writer with option "Formatted text [RTF]"
- paste special into writer with option "Formatted text [RTF]"

good: option "Formatted text [RTF]" is not available
bad:  second paste fails (but it's possible to paste into 
                          another writer document)

I'm afraid I need to report that this issue continues to exist or reappeared in Version 7.2.7.2 (x64) Build ID: 8d71d29d553c0f7dcbfa38fbfda25ee34cce99a2. Now you may say this doesn't really matter a lot since MS ceased support for IE as of 
June 15th, but as you can tell from their Internet Explorer 11 desktop app retirement FAQ at <https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/windows-it-pro-blog/internet-explorer-11-desktop-app-retirement-faq/ba-p/2366549> this doesn't mean it may not affect other applications using the MSHTML renderer anymore as does the application I'm supporting. I'm particularly surprised about this since there's no such issue in the Calc and Impress modules which can perfectly deal with repeatedly pasting RTF from the clipboard into the same document over an over again no matter of its contents. If you should need any further details please let me know.
