Just FYI, I compiled LibreOffice from Gentoo sources. And my version says 7.1.7.1, which is ot an option above. Occasionally, and apparently randomly, when I navigate a spreadsheet by using the scroll wheel on my mouse, the current clipboard contents get pasted somewhere in the current sheet. This isn't really a problem if I notice it has happened -- I can just click undo. But when I don't notice it, it creates a major hassle (I have to find and recreate the corrupted data. This has happened more and more frequently of late. I turned off the warning about overwriting existing data a long time ago. I guess I'll turn that warning back on, and see if that works better for me. But I would really be happier if data were not pasted into a cell unless I have either selected the edit > paste menu item, or have keyed in Ctrl+v.
Please, check in menu Tools - Options - LibreOffice - View if Middle button field is set to Paste clipboard. Inform here therefore. Thanks.
Thanks, Lenny. I didn't know that was the default -- I've never had a mouse with three buttons, just left / right, and a scroll wheel. I changed that settting to "no function" ... hopefully that will fix it.

@David, let us know if it works.
Well, so far that seems to have done the trick. I'll write back in a week or so to confirm.
Changing the settng fr Mouse Middle Button to "no function" seems to have done the trick. At least, the problem hasn't come up in a whole week.
