Description Konstantin 2021-06-24 12:05:26 UTC 
When Pasting Text once copied from Adobe Acrobat Reader, The Document's title as seen in its Settings is overwritten without mention.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open writer
2. Confirm the text (title etc.) in File->Settings->Description is as intended (or empty).
3. Copy something from an pdf, opened in Adobe Acrobat Reader (I have Version 2021.005.20048), which also has some Info in its File->Settings Fields.
4. Paste the text in writer (I used STRG+V)
5. and voilá, your writer File->Settings have also changed.

Using Linux I cannout reproduce this behaviour.

Hmm, confirmed. 

But seems to depend on the PDF content being copied. Simple text runs from a PDF created in Acrobat PDFMaker 19 for Word don't trigger the Description change, but a run copied from an Acrobat PDFMaker 19 for PowerPoint does.

Going to need better STR and test case documents.
