Description Yuejian MO 2022-02-08 13:10:37 UTC
Description:
The LO runs with wayland in openSUSE. If I try to copy text from firefox and paste to preset text box inside slide, the text box will fill with raw code of text . If I directly paste text on slide instead preset text box, right text will be there.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. copy string 维基百科,自由的百科全书
from https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%96%B9%E5%BD%A2%E7%8E%AF%E6%A3%B1%E8%9E%BA in firefox

2. then paste to Impress's preset text box

Actual Results:
Text box will fill with 维基百科,自由的百科全书

Expected Results:
Text box will fill with \u7ef4\u57fa\u767e\u79d1\uff0c\u81ea\u7531\u7684\u767e\u79d1\u5168\u4e66


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Comment 1 Ming Hua 2022-02-08 15:13:32 UTC
Some additional information based on the conversation I had with the reporter in the Chinese QQ chat group:

1. The platform is SUSE linux, desktop environment is KDE;

2. Using sddm (SUSE's desktop manager, I assume) to switch to X11 instead of Wayland makes the problem disappear, the VCL in this case is kf5 (cairo+xcb);

3. Staring LibO from command line with "SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gen" environment variable also makes the problem disappear.

I get a slightly different, but also wrong result here. In my case the text
"$(AN,$(B4pI42J!$<+M3E*I42JA4$(AJi" gets pasted in Impress. 

Just pasting the text from Bugzilla shows the same behavior as when pasting from Wikipedia.

It works just fine when pasting into Writer or Calc instead.

Works fine when using the gtk3 VCL plugin (SAL_USE_VCLPLUGIN=gtk3) or forcing the XCB Qt platform plugin to be used (QT_QPA_PLATFORM=xcb, which is basically equivalent to using an X11 session).

For me, this is on Debian testing with LO master, en-GB locale, plasma-desktop 4:5.23.5-1 and most KF5 libraries just upgraded to 5.90.
