Description: within a document, when marking text with mouse and pasting it with middle-button, the focus stays on the marked source text. this is in contrast to all editors i know, where the focus/cursor is placed after the pasted text. consequence: when pasting and continuing to type, the highligted source text gets erased and new text is entered there. yes, it can be undone with ctrl-z, but the behavior is highly confusing and inconsistent with other ui experiences. i fell about a hundred times into this trap, which always distorts my text flow, so i though i give it a try here. Steps to Reproduce: 1. mark text with mouse 2. paste text in same document somewhere 3. immediately type something Actual Results: source (marked text) gets erased. focus is in wrong/inconsistent place. highly confusing. Expected Results: focus/cursor should be placed after the pasted text. this would be consistent with experience in other editors. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No OpenGL enabled: Yes Additional Info: well, this behavior is present in all versions of libreoffice writer. it seemes to have been there for a long time ...
I can't confirm it with Version: 7.0.0.0.alpha1+ (x64) Build ID: 99c337d1d3831ce9d2c7dc1cbff713f4ac49d6ac CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18363; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win; Locale: en-GB (de_DE); UI: en-GB Calc: CL But I only have a mouse with left and right button.

temporarily reset profile, same behavior confirmed.
Created attachment 162005 [details] active copy-field after paste screenshot taken after paste (at the end of text). clearly the copy-region is still active, so when entering text, THAT region gets overwritten. instead, text input should be after the paste region.
