Hi, Created a simple database using the built in LO database, then tied a simple form to it, consisting of "Formatted Field" and "Text Box" fields. *Pasting* of text from applications (ie Apple Mail, LibreOffice Spreadsheet, Apple TextEdit) into any of the text field types does not work. This is with very simple text, such as "Hi, my name is Fred." (simple example) Tried the following methods for pasting: a. Using keyboard shortcut ⌘-v : Does not work b. <Main menu> -> Edit -> Paste : Does not work c. Right click context menu -> Paste : _Works_ fine When I say "Does not work", I mean that no apparent action occurs at all. It's like the action is completely ignored by LO. The cursor keeps blinking in it spot it was on, no obvious change, etc. (no cpu spike or anything) When pasting via the right click context menu, it works as should be expected. The contents of the paste buffer are inserted at the cursor (like every standard application). This bug is in both LO 3.4.5 Release, and 3.5.0 RC2. Platform: Mac OS X 10.7.3 64-bit Java: 1.6.0_29 (as built into OS)
This may also be the same bug: http://en.libreofficeforum.org/node/235 (I am not the person reporting the problem on that forum) Click-dragging the text does not work for me. The LO Database window is not a valid paste target. (visually displayed by a "can't paste here" symbol)
Thank you very much for your bug report! However, this bug report has never been confirmed by someone else, therefore I have to reset its status to UNCONFIRMED. No offence! This is just how bug wrangling works ;-).
@ Alex Thurgood: Hi Alex, this report reminds me of some other report about a similar issue, but I can’t find it again. You have better knowledge of LibreOffice database issues than me. Can you please check for duplicates (or, if there are no, try if this still reproducible)? You know better which questions to ask if necesary, etc. Thank you very much!
From what I remember there is a general Mac bug with Copy/Paste in Libreoffice that surfaces from time to time. This might be just another case of that particular bug. Alex
In fact, there are several instances within the LibreOffice process where you can not paste via DND or Cmd-V on Mac, most of them are either in Base or in the Basic editor.

In Mac daily build from 30/09/2012 : I can : - drag and drop value from one cell in a grid on a form to a neighbouring cell, so DND works within the Base file itself ; - right mouse button click Paste HOWEVER : I can't Cmd-C/Cmd-V I can't use the Edit menu to copy and paste either. I can't undo the DND operation. Pressing Cmd-Z has no effect. I can't copy/paste from another app, e.g. Firefox, Terminal.app With Cmd-C/Cmd-V, one can see that the corresponding main menu entry "Edit" is briefly highlighted, but nothing happens. Confirming. Alex
Not sure whether this is a framework, UI or Base code problem. As it is Mac, will CC Thorsten and Norbert, but it might be the slot identifiers or associated code for Copy/Paste in Mac which are screwed, since I can see the Edit menu highlighted. @Thorsten, Norbert, Andras : any idea ? Alex
@ Alex: Thank you very much for testing and analysing this issue!

Adding self to CC if not already on
Confirmed still a problem in Version: 4.4.1.2 on OSX 10.10.2 Ctrl-V highlights the edit menu, but no paste Edit -> paste also does not work Interestingly enough Ctrl-X and Ctrl-C both work, I can paste highlighted text in other applications, but paste inside Base still does not work.
Looks like this is a long-existing legacy bug from OpenOffice Base. REFERENECES: https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=17&t=30813&p=140418&hilit=Paste+Mac+BASE+problem#p140418 https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=111775 It would be wonderful if it could be fixed! NOTE: Pasting using right-click 'paste' command from the drop-down menu works.

Sorry Alex, I can't help here, it's been long time that I haven't been able to build master sources on MacOs. I submitted a bugtracker about it, no result yet.
Alex: with master sources updated 2 days ago, I could paste from a brand new Writer file to a Text box of a form of a brand new HSQLDB file. I use Cmd-C then Cmd-V I must recognize, I noticed these on console anyway: warn:legacy.tools:30531:1:vcl/osx/salmenu.cxx:721: unmapped accelerator key
