Paste result into an empty presentation

This bug occurs with two separate LO instances, which is fairly rare, hence the lower priority.

- In 1st instance, open a starting presentation, eg. use the Candy template,
- Select a few (eg. 5) slides in the slide sorter, and copy them,
- In 2nd instance, open another presentation, eg. use the Beehive template,
- In 2nd instance, paste.

-> Instead of the selected+copied slides pasted as new slides, some text boxes are pasted into the current slide, and that's all.

Same when pasting into an empty presentation. Attaching a result of this.

If it's a single LO instance, it all works as expected.

Observed with LO Version: 7.3.0.0.alpha0+ (e7a40c0ded1ba26b6b8f3da5a0b894e9c7ee7a96), 3.3.0 / Ubuntu, Windows.

Slides cannot be pasted via right-click menu, as in single instance.
So this paste, I guess Ctrl+V, pastes as unknown content. Same if we paste it in MSO.
I wouldn't fix it.

Sure, as I wrote above, the exact scenario isn't likely. But don't you think not being able to paste LO's own format proparly is a bit embarrassing? What if someone develops an application that can copy to clipboard in the exact same format as LO, and can't paste it properly in Impress?

Or if this is technically impossible, or very hard, it'd be nice to have an explanation for it.

Not sure what kind of final result can be expected, but even if it can't work the same as if copy-pasting between the same LO instance, pasting slides between different instances should produce better results.

Still the same in LO 24.8.0.0.alpha0+ (110eb4f6f8ed43faf7d2a4e74bfdcb93934f6439) / Ubuntu.
