tdf#116685: Make the RICHTEXT take precedence over EMBED_SOURCE.
Before this patch, copy in Calc, Paste in Writer produced an embedded
sheet.  I suspect is it not what the people usually want; working with
the embedded sheets in Writer is non-intuitive, I suspect people will be
happier with a normal table which they can style etc. appropriately.

OTOH - this is a general change, so it might have some unwanted
side-effects; let's see what if we get bugreports :-)

tdf#127673 was related; but in my view, we shouldn't create the embedded
objects in the first place.

Note: The 'proper' layout can be restored more or less with HTML paste
Comment 7 Aron Budea 2021-11-06 23:55:31 UTC
The identified change only switches to RTF paste, the steps can be checked in older versions as well by using paste special in RTF format.
The pasted table is already buggy in version 3.3.0.

Dear Telesto,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword

Warm Regards,
QA Team
