Description: When a spreadsheet cell is selected for typing in, Shift+Ctrl+Alt+V does not work. This is a problem if one wants to paste text inside a cell that already contains text. What only works but overwrites text already contained in a cell is to click only once on a cell and type Shift+Ctrl+Alt+V. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Copy text from somewhere using ctrl+C 2. Go to Calc. Double click on cell to enable text entry with cursor blinking inside the cell 3. Type Shift+Ctrl+Alt+V 4. Notice that it types "V" inside the cell instead of copying text unformatted 5. Click once on another cell so that the cursor does not blink inside. Type Shift+Ctrl+Alt+V and notice that the text gets copied, but it will overwrite other text that may already be in the cell. Actual Results: Types "V" instead of copying text Expected Results: Copies unformatted text according to Shift+Ctrl+Alt+V shortcut Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: Version: 7.4.4.2 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 40(Build:2) CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.19; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: de-CH (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Ubuntu package version: 1:7.4.4-0ubuntu0.22.10.2 Calc: threaded
I reproduce the issue, thank you for reporting. Version: 7.4.6.2 / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 5b1f5509c2decdade7fda905e3e1429a67acd63d CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-US (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded and also in a recent trunk build, and already in 6.0.0.3. Noting that using the menu works: Edit > Paste Special > Paste Unformatted Text
Once you are in edit mode, you don't need [CTRL]+[ALT]+[SHIFT]+[V] in order to paste as Unformatted Text. In most (and possibly all) cases, once you are in edit mode, a simple [CTRL]+[V] would suffice and get you the same result. This should be the same for any alternative method to get into edit mode: double click on the cell, or F2, or clicking on the formula bar’s inputwin.

I also thought that, Ady, but try copying formatted text from LibreOffice itself (from Writer or even Calc): you'll see that even in edit mode inside the cell, the format comes across. So a definite bug, in my opinion. We need consistency here.
