Description Martin Srebotnjak 2021-08-26 21:20:48 UTC
Description:
Copying and pasting on macOS with LO72* is not working.
You get to paste some previous system clipboard content, not the one you selected and copied.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open LO Writer with an ODT document.
2. Select some text and copy it (using either cmd+c or menu command).
3. Paste (using either cmd+p or menu command).

Actual Results:
You paste not the copied text from step 2, but some previously copied clipboard content.

Expected Results:
You should paste content from step 2.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Comment 1 Martin Srebotnjak 2021-08-26 21:21:35 UTC
Sorry, setting to high+major, as copy/paste are really most basic office suite document editing functions.
Comment 2 [REDACTED] 2021-08-27 10:21:25 UTC
Looks like a duplictate of tdf#143813 - "Outline folding: copy, cut and paste do not work anymore"

Have you set

[1] LibreOffice -> Preferences -> LibreOffice -> Advanced -> [x] Enable experimental features (may be unstable)  and
[2] LibreOffice -> Preferences -> LibreOffice Writer -> View -> [x] Show outline-folding buttons

?

If yes, try to disable [2]

Probably was a glitch in one of releases, cannot confirm anymore.
Closing.

Persisting and documented at https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=144124

As often copy paste situation seems to be a cluster of multiple bugs at play.

added see also and setting to worksforme as we have no fix for this.
