Description: When trying to copy text into Calc using Paste Special, I expect to see the context menu (specifically to select "Unformatted Text") but instead I see a greyed out "[No selection possible]". If I close the file and reopen it, the menu becomes available again Steps to Reproduce: 1. open a file in Calc 2. highlight text from a website and copy it with ctrl-c (for example, choose a week's worth of scores from https://www.footballdb.com/games/index.html) 3. right-click a cell and hover over "Paste Special" and see a greyed out "[No selection possible]" 4. close Calc 5. reopen the file in Calc 6. right-click a cell and hover over "Paste Special" and now see the expected context menu Actual Results: can't paste copied data into calc without having to reload the file Expected Results: option to paste unformatted text into calc without having to reload the file Reproducible: Sometimes User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: i can't pinpoint exactly when this bug happens... after i reload the file, i can't reproduce it right away. it normally happens each week when i update my football pool spreadsheet, so i'm guessing it has something to do with the timing between using the clipboard and the initial loading of calc and/or my web browser into memory also, next week i will attempt to use the ctrl-alt-shift-v keyboard shortcut while seeing '[no selection possible]' to see if that works before reloading the file
I can't reproduce the issue.

Hi, same problem here, but not only on Calc, everywhere in LibO. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS Release: 22.04 Codename: jammy Operating System: Kubuntu 22.04 KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.98.0 Qt Version: 5.15.3 Version: 7.4.1.2 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 3c58a8f3a960df8bc8fd77b461821e42c061c5f0 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.18; UI render: default; VCL: kf5 (cairo+wayland) Locale: it-IT (it_IT.UTF-8); UI: en-US Steps to Reproduce: 1. open a file in LibO (Calc or Writer or Impress or ...) 2. highlight text from whatever you want and copy it with ctrl-c. Try first: a) clean text (for example with Notepad -Win- or Kate/Vim -Linux-) and after b) a website (for example this bugzilla site in the top of page "Bug 151864 - Paste Special [No selection possible] when copying text from a web browser (edit)") 3a. go to LibO and past with "ctrl-shift-v" the clean text. The "paste special" dialog is shown with only the choice "unformatted text" 3a. go to LibO and past with "ctrl-shift-v" the web site text. The "paste special" dialog is shown with two choices "HTML and unformatted text". 4. on both case, press "OK" to past and a new dialog is shown with "Requested clipboard format is not available." and no text is pasted. The only possibility to past a text is to: 5. past with ctrl-v (if the text is formatted, LibO receive the format with "url, bold, ..."), and if you want to clean up the text format, you have to: 6. copy another time the same text, but within LibO 7. paste special "ctrl-shift-v" and now the "paste special" dialog show you a very complete dialog with "libo text document, rtf, html, unformatted text, dde link". 8. now the "ok" functions works and you can choose whatever format you want At the end, I think that from 7.4 version LibO can read only its own clipboard format into the "special paste" dialog
Set to NEW per the previous comment, but it would be interesting to hear if Ryan and Michele still experience this with 7.5. Ryan: Please copy and paste here the contents of your Help - About (LibreOffice - About on macOS) by clicking the copy button. This allows us to know more about your system.

might be related to Bug 68765 ?
Some additional info: This bug happens if the web browser is opened before calc is opened. It does not happen if calc is opened before the web browser is opened.

It > does not happen if calc is opened before the web browser is opened. That's useful info but please see comment 3 for version information. Its important to know which OS and desktop environment your are using, especially for clipboard issues.

Dear Ryan Sarson, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year. There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. Please DO NOT Update the version field Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker) Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case) If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ 2. Test your bug 3. Leave a comment with your results. 4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo'; 4b.
