Created attachment 77397 [details] An .odt file created by Writer, containing extraneous comments created during a textual paste operation I'm using a Mac running OS X 10.8.3 and Microsoft Word 2011 version 14.2.3, in which I have a document open for editing. I'm copying selections of text and pasting them into LibreOffice Writer (version 4.0.1.2, Build ID: 84102822e3d61eb989ddd325abf1ac077904985, TinderBox: MacOSX TDF Release, Branch:libreoffice-4-0, Time: 2013-02-27_17:15:43) Each time I paste, the desired text is pasted along with six comments, each of which contains a fragment of XML from the clipboard. The source document in MS Word is a .doc file; the destination in Writer is an .odt file. I will create and attach a new sample .odt so you may examine the phantom comments.
I'm correcting the Writer version number in the Bugzilla dropdown. Either it didn't appear or I didn't notice that dropdown a few moments ago when I originally submitted the bug report.
I can reproduce this behavior using Mac OSX 10.8.3 with LibreOffice Version 4.0.2.2 (Build ID: 4c82dcdd6efcd48b1d8bba66bfe1989deee49c3) TinderBox: MacOSX TDF Release, Branch:libreoffice-4-0, Time: 2013-03-26_15:52:16 and Word for Mac 2011 version 14.3.1. Kind regards, Joren
Looks to be a bit incomplete on the steps to reproduce. Please clarify if you are using command-C and command-V accelerators, or if you are using the Edit menus, or some mix of both to add to and paste from the clipboard when moving between the documents. Also, are both documents open in LibreOffice? Or one in Word 2011 and the target in LibreOffice 4.0.x? Any improvement when doing one or the other?
(In reply to comment #3) > Please clarify if you are using command-C and command-V accelerators, or if > you are using the Edit menus, or some mix of both to add to and paste from > the clipboard when moving between the documents. In any way. Use only cmd+C and Cmd+V, use menu entries to copy and cmd+V to paste, use cmd+C to copy and menu entries to paste... Also cmd+x (cut) is affected. > Also, are both documents open in LibreOffice? Or one in Word 2011 and the > target in LibreOffice 4.0.x? Any improvement when doing one or the other? Open one empty text document in LibreOffice, open a random document in Word 2011. Cut/copy text from Word 2011 to LibreOffice. Reproducible in all mentioned ways. I hope it's a bit more clear :)? Kind regards, Joren
(In reply to comment #4) Sure, but is there a clean paste when using menu Edit -> Paste Special -> "Unformatted text"? I.e. showing the extraneous XML could be corrupted MS XMLS or ODF mis-formatting. Will the Word 2011 documents open directly for editing in LibreOffice Writer? Do they show any misconfiguration there? What about a copy & paste function between two documents opened only in LibreOffice writer? Or only between two Word 2011 instances (although we don't care too much about that).
Good questions deserve good answers.

Paste with "unformatted text" doesn't result in this behavior. > Will the Word 2011 documents open directly for editing in LibreOffice > Writer? Do they show any misconfiguration there? They open correctly yes. This is reproducible with 4 documents (both doc as well as docx), so it isn't just a specific file that causes the behavior. > What about a copy & paste function between two documents opened only in > LibreOffice writer? No problem with that, this is only a Word (for Mac 2011) to LibreOffice problem. >Or only between two Word 2011 instances (although we > don't care too much about that). Also not reproducible when copying text from Word to Word. Kind regards, Joren

Confirming that problem still present with LO 4412. I even tried with the lates beta release of Word for Mac, and the results are the same. Copying a selected text from a Word document (doc or docx) using Cmd-C/V or via the menu inserts comments into the Writer document. These comments contain the following XML strings : <!--StartFragment--> and <!--EndFragment-->

Still present Copying text from latest Word 2016 (15.36) to latest release of LibreOffice results in lots of comments with xml, as in the test file This was also present in 3.3, so inherited from OpenOffice
