Could you try these:

?

It works fine here from inside or outside Writer. Also check Tools - Options - LibreOffice - View: Mouse - Middle button is Paste clipboard.

OK, got it working but had to restart the program. Changing that option has no effect until you restart LibreOffice Writer.

Hey, you are right, I confirm. Let's repurpose this report.

I understand the lack of restart popup here but is it normal too to be required to change this parameter to make Mouse - Middle button work ?

Maybe Ubuntu 20.04 has a different default? I don't understand why they would change it, though.

Confirmed on 20.04.
However, pasting in other applications with the middle mouse button works (gedit e.g.).

I discussed with Samuel on IRC and he confirmed Ubuntu had changed the default to "Automatic Scrolling".

vmhilden: you can report this to downstream Ubuntu: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice
I did not find an existing report.

For content, this is NotOurBug.
For title, I'll set duplicate.
