Often users, need to copy content from webpages into documents. Pasting web content into a Writer document often results in tons of comments that contain some strange HTML information. On Windows and MacOS there is an option in "Edit"-> "Paste Special" -> "HTML without comments". In Linux and Solaris this option is missing (or broken). This is very annoying if you work very often with content from webpages. How to reproduce: * Take any webpage, let's say http://edition.cnn.com/ * Select all content by ctrl-A and copy it by ctrl-C * Open a Writer document and paste everything by ctrl-V * You will see over 30 automatically created comments in the right margin with silly content such as "<!--include virtual="/editionssi/sect/3.0/MAIN/elex/belowT2Title.html"-->". In Linux/Unix there is no way to choose "paste HTML without comments". System: Ubuntu 10.10, gnome 2, any recent LibreOffice or OpenOffice version, German UI Related bug entry in OpenOffice bugtracker: https://openoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=109615
Inheritance from OOo, Confirmed there! @Cédric: Please feel free to reassign if it's not your area!
RC2 is bit by bit identical with release version, so separate items in the version picker are useless. Changes have been discussed with Michael Meeks.
I have the feeling that this is somehow related to bug 35146, and thus not really specific of HTML or writer. Other bug reports deal with paste-special in Linux and thus could also be related. For instance I would say Bug 42466 (and Bug 42093 marked as duplicate) are duplicates of the present one, and I suspect Bug 34599, Bug 33114 to be somehow related too, even though the paste-special problem they describe appears only under some circumstances. Maybe I'm wrong but Paste-Special seems quite generally broken in Linux, in which case it could be worth filing a separate bug. So does anyone actually knows an (non-LO) application in Linux that can transmit several data formats to LO over the clipboard? In any case the lack of (or broken) Paste-Special in Linux-LibreOffice makes a big usability difference with respect to Windows and MacOs... It would be nice to address this in upcoming releases.
