Description Viktor Mileikovskyi 2012-07-04 14:12:31 UTC 
Problem description: 
If I copy any cells from worksheet they (as expected) automatically highlighted by blinking frame. But if after that I copy to a clipboard from different source these cells are mistakenly highlighted as copied.
If I copy-paste from-to different workbooks many times there are multiple ranges highlighted as copied so I must remember last copied range before pasting.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Select any cells in opened worksheet and press Ctrl+C 
2. Switch to another workbook or application with possibility to copy anything to clipboard.
3. Copy any data of any type to clipboard.
3. Switch to worksheet used in step 1.

Current behavior:
   copied cells at step 1 shown as copied
Expected behavior:
   no cells shown as copied
Proposed solution:
   to automatically check a clipboard data when a worksheet is activated.

Comment 1 Viktor Mileikovskyi 2012-08-23 13:32:47 UTC 
No problem found after upgrading to LibreOffice 3.6.0.4
Many thanks for corrections.
Comment 2 Viktor Mileikovskyi 2012-08-23 13:42:24 UTC 
I am sorry. This problem didn't solved, but hidden.
When You perform step 1 to reproduce You may move current selection by arrows after copying.
The selection frame overlaps blinking copy frame. So blinking frame is invisible after switching applications.
With Best regards.
Victor.

I can confirm with 4.0 beta 1 on windowsXP.

Reproducible with LO 4.3.2.2 (Win 8.1)

Remark: Create/Open two spreadsheets.  After copying to clipboard put the cursor in another cell (to see the blinking border during the whole test procedure) and then go to the other spreadsheet to copy there another cell.
This results in that the cells in both spreadsheets are blinking.


Another strange issue:
1. Select a cell in the first spreadsheet
2. Copy the content to the clipboard

Interim Result: Even without moving the cursor to another cell the thick border around this cell is blinking.

3. Now go the second spreadsheet and then go back to the first spreadsheet without doing anything else

Result: The thick border around the copied cell is only blinking for very short moment and then no longer.  But I would expect that also the thick border is still blinking the whole time.
