Selecting something in calc, moving to an other sheet, and middle clicking there doesn't paste anything.
Please supply detailed information such as your OS, & how to see that problem. Then mark this bug as UNCONFIRMED Perhaps that caused by OS settings ?
On linux and any unix-like systems with X window system there are two different clipboards. The normal clipboard, which is usually accessed with ctrl-x ctrl-c and ctrl-v, works in calc as expected. The selection clipboard works as follows: if something is selected with the mouse, it is automatically copied into a buffer, and you can paste it anywhere with middle click (extremely handy). Calc puts the contents of the selected cells into the selection clipboard, which is OK, but it shouldn't clear the clipboard on unselecting. This has a side-effect that you can't paste the selection to an other sheet with the middle click, because the selection is canceled when changing sheets, and the selection clipboard is also cleared.

Confirmed. Status set to NEW. Is there is some sort of GNU/Linux UX precedent for maintaining the copy buffer contents after de-selection?
(In reply to comment #5) > (In reply to comment #2) > Is there is some sort of GNU/Linux UX > precedent for maintaining the copy buffer contents after de-selection? AFAIK LibreOffice is the only application that clears it.
Hi.. I can't reproduce issue in Calc with LO 4.2.6.2 - Ubuntu 12.04 x86 But I can reproduce in Writer as reported in Bug 62047. Please tell exact steps to reproduce issue and reset user profile, also your detailed OS & desktop environment. Then change status to UNCONFIRMED. *) Please be noted without sufficient information there is small chance dev will touch this bug
(In reply to comment #7) > Please tell exact steps to reproduce issue and reset user profile, also your > detailed OS & desktop environment. I'm using Crunchbang 11 x86_64 with Openbox. It is basically Debian 7 x86_64 with a different WM. In Calc v4.2.5.2: 1. In a new sheet enter some data into cells A1, A2, A3. 2. Highlight cells A1:A3. 3. Middle-click elsewhere on the same sheet pastes the highlighted data and highlights the pasted location (thus continued use of middle-click is possible for repeated paste). 4. Add a new sheet (Sheet2). 5. Highlight cells Sheet1.A1:A3. 6. Select Sheet2. 7. Middle-click on Sheet2. Observed behaviour: Middle-click on Sheet2 does nothing (because the act of selecting the sheet removes the cell highlighting on Sheet1). Expected behaviour: Middle-click on Sheet2 pastes the contents of Sheet1.A1:A3 (because the act of highlighting has copied the contents to the clipboard). > But I can reproduce in Writer as reported in Bug 62047. That bug would seem more related to inter-application pasting (which WFM). Thanks for pointing it out. I will comment in it also. Status set back to UNCONFIRMED. I have already confirmed this bug, but it would be great if you could also and set the status back to NEW.
(In reply to comment #8) Yep..I can reproduce now :) Formerly I can't reproduce because I do highlight in input line of a cell. Surprisingly..it works accross sheets..

LO 6.1.5.2 still clears the selection clipboard when switching to another worksheet.
This bug is confirmed in Writer, and very annoying (my current version is 6.1.5.2, but this is a very old bug) In Linux, when you select a sentence (for exemple), this sentence is stored is the primary selection and can be called back, in the same window or in any other window, with a middle click. No need to use keyboard. Very handy ! In Writer, when you deselect the text, you are not able anymore to paste it with middle click, it is available only while the selection stay active. Which is not the standard behavior in linux (any other soft clears the primary selection only when a new selection is done). So if I need to create a new line, or begin to type and then call back the text that was selected, it is not possible anymore, then I remember that LO is buggy on this point, I have to go back where I was, select again, and make a ctrl-C to be sure my clipboard will survive. ;-) Very often, in production tools, I use both clipboards at the same time, (the ctrl-c one and the middle click one), and in LO this is an acrobatic task. I wonder if it is easy to fix this, as it is a standard feature of all graphical interfaces in linux, in this case it would be a great progress ! ------------- I have another bug in the same domain, which equally invalidate the middle click past, only the beginning of the selection is stored, not the whole selection, but I guess I have to open a new bug for this part.
