Description Paul B 2014-01-07 15:07:33 UTC
Problem description: text will no longer copy and paste into some other programs (like MS Office, or Scapple)

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create some text in Writer (doesn't seem to matter whether it's in an unsaved document or saved in any particular format)
2. Copy the text
3. Go to a program that normally accepts pasted text and try to paste by the usual means (ie ctrl + v, or using the edit/paste commands)

Current behavior: In MS Office programs the text will only paste if you choose the non-formatted option - it will no longer paste if you choose "merge formatting" etc. In Scapple (literature and latte's mind mapping program) it doesn't paste at all - though in some other programs it still seems to work. 

Expected behavior: the pasted text should appear without further intervention (as it does if I copy and paste from MS Word etc). I've never had this problem with previous version of LO Writer. 

              
Operating System: Windows 8
Version: 4.2.0.1 rc

Hello Paul,

I reproduce this behavior with LO 4.3.0.0.alpha0+
Build ID: 03e0781145bceebca84e5d891ed0df72c75389da
TinderBox: Win-x86@39, Branch:master, Time: 2014-01-09_12:14:17
& windows 7 Home Premium

Paste into WordPad or NotePad is direct. Paste into Word has no longer the same behavior than with LO 4.1.4.2.

Thanks to report that,

Kind regards,

Jacques

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

   Test to see if the bug is still present on a currently supported version of LibreOffice (4.4.2 or later)
   https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

   If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the version of LibreOffice and your operating system, and any changes you see in the bug behavior
 
 If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a short comment that includes your version of LibreOffice and Operating System

Please DO NOT

   Update the version field
   Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
   Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3)

http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug 3. Leave a comment with your results. 4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to "inherited from OOo"; 4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add "regression" to keyword
