Please be aware that several different alternatives for pasting in Calc are available.

If I go to Paste Special as Unformatted Text, you should get one result. If I copy plain text from a plain-text editor and paste it in Calc, that is another thing (generally speaking). If I select text from a web page, it may also have some formatting, and LibreOffice tries to bring that too. You could try this by pasting text in Writer instead of Calc.

If you want to avoid pasting the original formatting attributes, perhaps it would be better to try the other alternatives (e.g. Unformatted Text, or some other within the Paste Special dialog).

In other words, the possibility of pasting with the original format should be considered a plus, a feature, not a negative effect. It is in the hands of the user to choose what and how to paste it.

But, maybe others disagree.

Now, in addition to having to account for the specific source of the text, it should also be noted that this report is currently set for Linux while Lesline's test in comment 2 is for Windows. It is still valuable anyway.

Please attach an example document and give a link to the website we should copy text from.

Set to NEEDINFO.
Change back to UNCONFIRMED after you have provided the document and information.
