Smells like some clipboard destroyer (aka "manager") interferes with the clipboard.
Comment 2 Timur 2020-10-14 14:06:16 UTC
Such behavior is not general and is hard to reproduce. 
Please write if you use some clipboard manager and try without. 
See if duplicate of bug 136002, which is the nearest I could find. 	
Be clear if you try more copies outside, because if you try a single one, could be a duplicate ofg bug 62196.
Comment 3 igor@vjatkin.cz 2020-10-14 14:14:08 UTC
As I Wrote before there is no any clipboard managers in my PC.
Comment 4 igor@vjatkin.cz 2020-10-14 14:21:26 UTC
I found completely crazy behaviour.

When I put the Calc to "Copy malfunction" mode it also affect a Writer. 
Any attempt to Past some copied text to Writer produce pasting last copied cell from Calc! To make Writer "Paste" work again I need to make "Past" in Calc work correctly first.

Answer to Eike Rathke>
If it is "like some clipboard destroyer" why it affects JUST LibreOffice software?
Comment 6 igor@vjatkin.cz 2020-10-14 15:40:19 UTC
Windows restarting solved the issue this time.

Hello Igor,
Do you mean that with the same Windows release, just by restarting the PC, the issue is no longer reproduced ?
In this case, what could trigger this misbehaviour ?
Comment 9 Timur 2020-10-16 08:44:54 UTC
We can only close. You may follow other paste bugs.
Comment 10 Timur 2020-10-16 08:47:22 UTC
To be clear: LO has paste issues, but bugs are already there, it's rather wrong to just report a new one without search, because those bugs are usually not reproducible. 
Again, see bug 62196 (bug 136002 is Needinfo so also not clear).

Answer to michel.lopez@zaclys.net>
Yes, just by restarting the PC. I tried it today, it's OK this time. I will try to figure out what is triggering it.

The problem is similar as disciplined here

Answer to Timur>
The problem isn't seems to be similar as in bug 136002. I didn't try "Paste Special". 
In 136002 "the Paste function is greyed out" in my case it is available. I can Paste but not what the clipboard actually contains.

I found that if the problem is seen in Calc it also is seen in Writer, and Writer takes last Copy from Calc and both software completely ignore the clipboard. 
I also found the way how to suppress the problem and bring it again. This behavior isn't mentioned in  bug 136002


It's not similar as in bug 62196. It described Win XP and LO 4, in my case ti is Win 10 and LO 7
