When I try to paste an web image copied from web browser, calc does nothing... Really, by default it pastes it as "Formated HTLM" instead of "Bitmap" as writer does. ( You can use "Paste special" as a workaround, but it is an inconsistent behavior with writer ) Steps to reproduce: - Select an image in your browser (Firefox/Chrome tested) - Select "Copy image" option - Try to paste it in calc... id does nothing Operating System: Windows XP Version: 4.1.2.3 release
Reproducible with LO 4.1.4.0.0+ under Ubuntu 13.10 x86-64. Indeed this behavior is weird. On my test, I was asked to choose the language for the import. In the case of an image the choice bitmap in the Paste special should be the default. Best regards. JBF
tested under Win7 64bit, copyng and pasting images from this URL: http://www.libreoffice.org/home/Discover very old issue, affects all LibO versions from beginning to current 4.1.4 and 4.2.0RC1. bug is inherited from OOo 3.3.0 and is still present in AOO 4.0.0 bug also depends on the browser: Internet Explorer 11 --> image copied from web can't be pasted in Calc (interestingly the same image can be pasted in Writer) Opera 12.16 --> image copied from web can be pasted in Calc
