Created attachment 88142 [details] Spreadsheet with a macro Hello Context : a macro launched via a command button to copy a range of cells. The problem arises when a button has the focus. In this case the copy is irrelevant that the macro is launched via the button or otherwise (menus, shortcut). The attached spreadsheet contains: - A macro "Disp" that copies A1:A3 to C1. - A button that launches the macro. When you open the spreadsheet the button has focus. Start macro without clicking the button, but through the menus (macro> run, or macro> organize> Run). It does not work (move and selection are but not copy). Click on the sheet (anywhere) then restart the macro via menus: everything works as many times as you want (change the range A1:A3 to check). There is a workaround (use the copy method of a sheet) but this is an annoying regression because the feature is widely used, especially by beginners. Set to "New" because reproduced (qa-fr) : - 4.0.5 Windows 7 32b - 4.1.1 W8/64 - 4.1.1.2/Ubuntu 12.04 - 4.1.2.1 W/XP - 4.1.2.3/W8.1/64 Regards Pierre-Yves
Hello Reproduced with 4.0.4 W7/32 and 4.1.2.3 Ubuntu 12.04. The problem appears when any button in the sheet has the focus, not only those calling the macro with "uno:copy". With any version of LibO 3, the macro works fine, regardless the way to launch it, and for all platforms. Regards Marc
works in 4.0.3.3, broken in 4.0.4.2

The change in behaviour seems to have been caused by the below commit. Adding Cc: to lionel@mamane.lu. Any thoughts on what can be done with this one? Thanks commit 7fd1cc18130464a9f09cb7a866e88c4d52e4716d Author: Lionel Elie Mamane <lionel@mamane.lu> Date: Sun May 12 00:35:31 2013 +0200 fdo#63695 revert hackish fix to i#51621 Change-Id: I688a659207c4b95cc98ff5dc5c5622d4592b3f89
This looks like it is exactly i#51621 ( https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=51621 ). Not surprising since my fix to bug 62520 (fdo#62520) was to revert the fix to i#51621. Since bug 62520 leads to data loss (entered data is not saved and discarded), I consider it as "more important". So what needs to happen is "somebody fixes this without reintroducing bug 62520".
I encountered this problem in a macro I'm working on. Forcing the code to take off the focus from the button seems to work for me. I placed the following code as the fist line in the macro: ThisComponent.CurrentController.Frame.ContainerWindow.setFocus

Quand je veux faire un copier d'un fichier sur un autre, sachant que les 2 fichiers sont ouverts, "copier" se fait sans problème. mais le clic droit réalisé sur la cellule de destination ne présente pas "coller" automatiquement Je suis le plus souvent obligé de fermer et ré-ouvrir le fichier de destination pour que la proposition "coller" apparaisse ! Cordialement Jean Charles
Trying to help with https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/124400/copy-wont-work-in-macro/ I just found the bug living in LibO V 5.4.0.3 under Win 10.
I can confirm the bug i still there with LibreOffice 5.4.1002 and OS X 10.13 High Sierra. And thanks @fsoltrash for the workaround!

and again i tapped on an old bug nobody cared for since years ...

If you think some report is wrongly closed as a duplicate, please explain why you think so. Findings from duplicates can be copied as comments to the open reports.
@Buovjaga: > If you think some report is wrongly closed as a duplicate, please explain why you think so. no, i didn't say that, thus nothing to explain, > Findings from duplicates can be copied as comments to the open reports. i know that, and did so sometimes, what i'd say was: "(i like libreoffice and consider it one of the best office suites, the weakest points are the 'old bugs', that nobody cares for them, and that new findings are pulled away as duplicates. this is a general weakness of the development as a community, and the systematics of the bugtracker.)" as an extenuation of a - gallows humor - remark: "and again i tapped on an old bug nobody cared for since years ... " mean point, as bugs and bugtracker are actually handeled they lead developers to the triage: 1. new bug? oh no, it's a duplicate, 2. care for the origin? oh no, too many comments, difficult stuff, 3. what do do? mark as dup and care for something else. and that buries 'old bugs'. you can verify this opinion on this bug - 6 years, no patch, no progress, on other fields like 'shared formulas', parallelizing, - there had been some progress - macro functionality, iterations, comment slowdowns, autocalc, #REF! errors and so on, or on #62196 mentioned by Mike - basic functionality, six years, 13 duplicates, no patch, no progress, it already has a sibling #65606 with some duplicates, and a grandfather #34599 ... you'll see that bug handling for old bugs in calc (and libreoffice?) is not the most effective point of the project. i wouldn't cry about that in 'bugs' - imho intended for work on the factual problems - if i'd know any better place, perhaps you can give me a hint. reg. b.
am i right with the following 'backtrace'? the problem is old and was once solved - https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=51621 that fix was reverted by @Lionel reg. #62520 and being 'hackish' - https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=70883#c6 but without noting it in that thread (62520), thus the ooo thread 51621 pinpoints the problem, and needs a rework taking into account the problems of #62520? but the site with the old fix passed away (http://eis.services.openoffice.org/EIS2/cws.ShowCWS?Id=3085&Path=SRC680%2Fdba201d is broken), and the wayback machine didn't archive that branch, :-( ------------ couldn't put https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/24788/is-there-some-known-issues-using-button-to-execute-a-macro/ under 'see also', thus here.
(In reply to b. from comment #19) You basically correctly describe what had been mentioned in comment 6, bug 63695 comment 21 (which shows that Lionel's change *was* noted there), and i#51621 (https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=51621). The original fix was in https://git.libreoffice.org/core/+/bdf02613fe455963dbcb4ee8f85da628856b146c.
thanks @Mike, I was confused that the 'correction' had not been mentioned in #62520 ...
