Description J22Gim 2021-09-22 18:00:25 UTC
Description:
I can't copy/paste within LibreOffice Writer (it works fine outside LO).


Steps to Reproduce:
1. open a Writer file and write something (eg "something")
2. copy any text using CRTL+C (or Edit->Copy)
3. try to past it (CTRL+V or Edit->Paste)


Actual Results:
What is pasted is anything that was in the clipboard before (eg not "something" but anything else). 

Expected Results:
The word "something" should have been pasted.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
The problem is between LO and my clipboard. In order to investigate a bit more, I installed a clipboard manager (qlipper) and apparently the text does get copied into the clipboard (at least I see it as an entry in qlipper) but it is not inserted when the "paste" command is issue. 
Outside LO there is not problem, ie normal behavior or copy/paste. This leaves out "OS problem". But maybe it is the combination of OS+LO?

(note, I put '7.2.1.1 rc' in the description because the drop-down list did not include the 7.2.1.2 version

Funnily enough, it actually works when I copy/paste the information from the 
Help -> "About LibreOffice" 
dialog (?)

When downgraded to a previous version, the clipboard works just fine:
