Description: Libreoffice 7.0.3.1 Writer Win - error with copy & paste When I do copy and paste repeatedly using cont.c and cont.v and only when I keep and hold the control key pressed, the string will be copied twice. Maybe there is purpose with this behaviour, but I wonder. I did only test in Writer Steps to Reproduce: 1.type in these lines in writer: 123abc 123abd 123abe 123abf 123abg 2. we want to change the '123' prefix against '456' 3. mark '123' from the first line and overtype it with '456' 4. press contr.C (to copy) and release the key again 5. mark '123' in the 2nd line, and press cont.V, keep the cont key pressed 6. you will get '456abd' 7. mark 123 in the 3rd line (cont is still pressed) and press the 'v' key 8. you will get '456456abe' 9. keeping the control key pressed, will douplicate the prefix 10. also when doing copy of text blocks, when holding the control key presses, will duplicate the block inserts; this copy of blocks, I do not protocol. ... not sure, whether this is all a feature or a bug. 4.press the control key and keep it pressed all the time Actual Results: 456abc 456abd 456456abe 456456abf Expected Results: 456abc 456abd 456abe 456abf Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: doing just a normal copy & past, even if the contol key is kept pressed for all repeated copy actions
I reproduce and this is indeed unexpected. I wonder, if this is somehow related to the block selection functionality that pressing down on Ctrl key activates.

I think the Ctrl key handling in LO+KDE is to blame. Press Ctrl+S and you will see 2 save dialogs, to save twice As a workaround, Shift+Insert pastes only once (but you need to get used to). IMHO: this bug may be at the root of many LO+KDE misbehavior, where for example Ctrl+Z will undo 2 commands instead of 1 and can confuse user.
(In reply to Olivier Hallot from comment #3) > I think the Ctrl key handling in LO+KDE is to blame. Nope, reported against Windows and confirmed with gen backend.
