Description Wayne 2020-08-21 22:23:15 UTC
Description:
I recently upgraded to version 7.0.0.3 and noticed something odd with LibreOffice Calc & Writer.  Intermittently, I will copy text from an application to Notepad to adjust then...  attempt...  to copy that modified text to either Calc or Writer; however, the Paste function is greyed out and the Paste Special gives a strange message.

NOTE:    When the issue occurs, I can still paste that clipboard text into Notepad, Wordpad, and even Notepad++.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Copy text from Notepad to the clipboard.
2.Attempt...  to paste the clipboard text to Calc or Writer.
3.

Actual Results:
Paste is greyed out.
Paste Special shows available; however, when you select that option it said something about not applicable.  I don't remember the exact error message.  And unfortunately, while filling out this bug report, I could not reproduce the issue to provide the correct message from the Paste Special function.

Expected Results:
The expected results are for the clipboard text to be pasted within the Calc spreadsheet or Writer document.


Reproducible: Sometimes


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Both Calc and Writer should have pasted the ordinary text into the document.

The issue happened again and now I can add the exact message that Paste Special option is showing:  <No selection possible>

Rule of thumb is search before reporting. 
There are multiple paste bugs and this is likely a duplicate. 
See and mark duplicate of bug 57147 or bug 116983 or 
This bug report has no purpose without steps.
