libreoffice 6.1.5.2 (but present for years) linux / debian stable (buster) / xfce4 When I select a text in writer, I expect that all the selection will be stored in the primary selection area, so I can paste it elsewhere with middle click. But only the beginning of the text is stored and pasted. Or the end of the text if I select it from right to left (or bottom to top). Strangely, it depends of the speed of my movement, if I move the mouse quickly, more text is selected. If I move it slowly, only one or two words are selected (or even one or two letters if I go really slowly). Same behavior if I select with Shift-Arrows, only the first world is selected with Shift-right, or the first line with shift-down. If I double-click or triple-click, then all is selected because selection is made by block. I tried with a fresh config (erasing ~/.config/libreoffice before starting LO) I tried after having unloaded clipman I tried on other computers (but where OS was also debian/xfce) LO is the only application behaving in this way, all other softs are selecting as expected, so it's not a system-side problem. The result is that this very handful way of select-and-paste is unavailable for me, along with this other bug: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=59260 Thank you.
Fred, thank you for reporting the bug. It seems you're using an old version of LibreOffice. Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ or with a master build from http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/current.html? You can install master alongside the standard version. I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version. Change to RESOLVED WORKSFORME, if the problem went away.
