Problem description: Copy/pasting equations is failing for me for copying to more than one destination (in two distinct ways) Steps to reproduce: 1. Create a new sheet; populate cells A1-A10 with the values 1..10, and cells B1-B10 with the values 10..1 2. Set C1 as =B1-A1 and the result 9 is displayed 3. On C1 use Ctrl-c to copy 4. Highlight C2-C10 5. Ctrl-v to paste Since that failed I tried: 6. On C1 use Ctrl-c to copy 7. On C2 ctrl-v to paste 8. On C3 ctrl-v to paste Current behavior: 5. Displays a 'Text import' dialog 8. Performs a copy-on-value Expected behavior: 5. Should perform a copy-by-equation to each of the cells in the C2-C10 range adjusting the row as appropriate 8. Should perform a copy-by-equation to C3, adjusting the row, as step 7 did Operating System: Ubuntu Version: 4.0.1.2 release
Thanks for reporting! I can not reproduce this behavior using Mac OSX 10.8.3 with LibreOffice 4.0.2.1.

Hi Jorendc, Hmm I see what's happening here; this is an interaction with KDE's 'klipper' clipboard manager; I'll ask them if they can see what's going on and see if it's purely on there side or an interaction of the two
OK; this happens when using Klipper (KDE clipboard manager) when 'synchronise contents of the clipboard and the selection' is enabled. It's not clear to me if this is an inevitable side effect of that or not; (gnumeric for example doesn't have the same problem); but I'd be happy for this to be closed if the belief is that's just too weird a thing to do.
This is a klipper issue, I know I've seen similar bug reports that were closed as NOTOURBUG and I believe there are bug reports against klipper that are related. Closing this as NOTOURBUG as I'm nearly positive it's an issue with Klipper and not LibreOffice
