Created attachment 86485 [details] What pops up when Pasting multiple lines. This is reported at length at http://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/1926/paste-loses-cell-format-in-calc-and-other-pasting-issues/?sort=latest#sort-top This is definitely not fixed as of LibreOffice 4.1.0.4 410m0(Build:4) on Debian Wheezy. It is easy to reproduce. select a line by clicking the line number. Copy it. Try to paste it by clicking another line number. It does not work. (once upon a time ...) Copy the line again. Paste into the first cell of a line. THAT works. Now select a column of first cells and Paste into them. You get the Text Import dialog! Operating System: Debian Version: 4.1.0.4 release
I do not see this issue in 4.1.1.2 under Win7 64bit. did you try upgrading from 4.1.0? if issue persist must some Linux specific bug. would you please provide a test file where you constantly reproduce the bug?
I strongly suspect the bug is Linux related. Can someone try it on a recent Linux release?
These directions aren't very useful to be honest - Copy it. Try to paste it by clicking another line number. It does not work. (once upon a time ...) So I took that as this: Select row 1 by clicking on the 1 on the left side of the window Copy using ctrl + c Select row 5 by clicking on the 5 on the left side of the window paste using ctrl + v This works fine for me Copy the line again. Paste into the first cell of a line. THAT works. So I took that as this: Select row 1 by clicking on the 1 on the left side of the window Copy using ctrl + c Select cell A5 paste using ctrl + v Now select a column of first cells and Paste into them. You get the Text Import dialog! This: - no clue what "select a column of first cells" means (do you mean select column A and try to paste the row 1 into it?") Marking as NEEDINFO as I just don't know what I'm trying to reproduce. Also the first "issue" in this bug (please keep issues 1 per bug report, here there are 2 I suppose), I cannot reproduce, I can paste just fine using 4.1.1.2 on Ubuntu 13.04 Once you explain the last blurb a bit better please set to UNCONFIRMED and I will try again to reproduce this second issue
I apologize for not responding to Joel's questions. I have a workaround (that involves a 2008 copy of OpenOffice) that let's me get my work done, and I have been _very_ busy. I hope to attach screen shots shortly of the problems I am seeing to make the issue clearer. Before I do that, I will attempt to load a more recent version of LibreOffice. Mike

I just installed ... Version: 4.1.4.2 Build ID: 0a0440ccc0227ad9829de5f46be37cfb6edcf72 The bug is still present, excactly as described.
/usr/bin/libreoffice now identifies itself as Version: 4.1.2.3 Build ID: 410m0(Build:3) I've discovered that the bug I am observing seems to be associated with KDE. kdesudo -v Qt: 4.8.2 KDE Development Platform: 4.8.4 (4.8.4) KdeSudo: 3.4.2.3 When I attempt to reproduce it on GNOME or LXFCE on uname -a Linux foveal5 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 3.2.51-1 x86_64 GNU/Linux I get the traditional, correct behaviour. Synaptic tells me that kde5 is available, but I am concerned that attempting to upgrade to it may break other things. Does anyone have any advice on upgrading to kde5?
@Mike: Could you shutdown Klipper (it's the scissors icon in the system tray), and report us if it solves your problem?
(In reply to comment #11) > @Mike: Could you shutdown Klipper (it's the scissors icon in the system > tray), and report us if it solves your problem? Yes! I does! At least for the most basic test example I use. OH Thank You! I don't depend on the Klipper that much, so not starting it is not much of a burden.
