ODT to both describe + show the bug

Certain keyboard shortcuts are inoperative within Writer  TextBoxes, although the equivalent menu selection WILL work. An example is that "menu:Edit | Paste Special | Paste Unformatted Text" DOES work, but Shift+Ctrl+Alt+V does NOT work.

This is both described + shown  within Python3docs (see bug6.odt + bug6.pdf at https://github.com/alexkemp9/Python3docs).

Alex, thank you for reporting the bug. It seems, you're using an old version of LO.  Could you please retest with actual version 24.8? Please provide information from Help -> About LibreOffice

It is a shame that you were incapable of reading that.

An Updated ODT to more Broadly Describe + Demonstrate the Bug

        a) This bug concerns only what the Python3 Document refers to as “Jump Boxes”, what LibreOffice navigator calls “Drawing Objects”, and what the menu calls “Text Boxes”.
        b) At issue is the difference within a Text Box in efficacy between commands from the menu & those from the keyboard.
        c) I’ve experienced this personally with Paste commands.
        d) The “Paste Unformatted Text” command was introduced at 6.1.0.3, although not implemented for a Text Box at that time.
        e) The  Shift+Ctrl+Alt+V command is the Keyboard shortcut for “Paste Unformatted Text”. All that produces within a Text Box is the letter “V”.

This is listed as Bug #06 within Python3docs (see https://github.com/alexkemp9/Python3docs/blob/main/README.md)
