Steps to reproduce: 1. Open an application (Firefox, TextEdit, Safari etc.) 2. Select some text 3. Drag the text from application and drag it to any LO component Expected behaviour: 1. Text should be pasted. Actual behaviour: 1. Nothing happens This is some serious functionality lost, and I hope this gets fixed as soon as possible. I don't know if this is a regression, it would be great if someone could confirm this on 3.6 branch.
Thank you for reporting this issue! I have been able to confirm the issue on: Version 4.1.0.0.alpha0+ (Build ID: 2bb13b83e40aec362964d26921a3fc1660a5da2) Date: Thu Feb 28 20:17:25 2013 +0100 Platform: Bodhi Linux 2.2 x64 + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + On Linux the behavior is even stranger, if I drag "1. Open an application (Firefox, TextEdit, Safari etc.)" to writer I get this: <pre class="bz_comment_text" id="comment_text_0"> 1. Open an application </pre> Same behavior with 3.6.5.2, not marking as anything as I want someone with OS X to test this. Joren you mind checking this one out?
Sounds very related to Bug 44621, except this is a bug regarding text, not images. (In reply to comment #0) > Actual behaviour: > > 1. Nothing happens I can reproduce this behavior using Mac OSX 10.8.2 with LibreOffice 4.0.1.2 (In reply to comment #1) > On Linux the behavior is even stranger, if I drag "1.

Open an application > </pre> I can reproduce that behavior also using Linux Mint 14 x64 LibreOffice Version 4.0.1.2 (Build ID: 84102822e3d61eb989ddd325abf1ac077904985). Therefore I mark this as NEW. Kind regards, Joren
Dragging selected text from FireFox to Writer WFM Windows 7 sp1, 64-bit LibreOffice 4.0.3.3, and also 4.1.0 alpha (2013-04-29) Only affecting OSX and Linux builds?
Workikng with LibreOffice 4.0.2.2 on Fedora 18 Linux, 32-bit, GNOME 3 Desktop, and FireFox 20.0 If dragging highlighted text from Firefox I also get the <pre class="bz_comment_text" id="comment_text_0">Steps to reproduce: and </pre> tags. But I think those tags are a Firefox issue (and perhaps some other apps). Because, when highlighting content in Firefox, a <right> mouse click shows a context menu that includes "View Selection Source" that opens a pop-up frame titled "DOM Source of Selection - Mozilla Firefox" The tagged Doccument Object Model content of the Source of Selection is exactly what is dropped into Writer when dragged. In other GNOME 3 desktop applications -- GEdit, Dictionary-- highlighted text can be draged and droped into Writer with no formatting issues. So could be a non-issue with Linux and actually an OSX only issue.
This now works on master daily build OSX, since : http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=cfdd89f10fdc15b36bd0d1023e49ca3752feb51e Thanks to Manik for some great work here !
