Spreadsheet with the copy/paste problem. See 51 and 55 pasted as image.

When EDITING a spreadsheet, copy/paste text or numbers is erratic. 
- Sometimes it copies and pastes text OK but sometimes I copy text and it pastes the same as an image. 
- If I copy the text and paste special, sometimes it works OK but other times it pastes as pastes the same text as a Bitmap Image with "Source: Unknown Source"

Paste Special number 77 it pastes as a bitmap image

In the screenshot I have copied number 77 and Paste Special. LO pastes this number as a bitmap image.
