Description Greg Wilson 2014-02-27 02:58:47 UTC 
Problem description: 
In the past I've had no problems on my MS Vista OS copying portions of an MS 2007 Word doc into the body of a Gmail I'm composing.  However I'm unable to do that when I try to copy  LibreOffice Writer text (which I'm very grateful to be able to otherwise use!!).  When I create and save a LibreOffice Writer file, which I've saved with the extension for MS Word 97/2000/XP/2003(.doc)and I open it, and then try copying a portion of that into the body of a Gmail I'm composing, nothing appears.  The mouse cursor just sits there when I try pasting the copied text.  However...I can successfully copy the same information into that same Gmail's address To area, or Subject area.  So I know the Control C portion has worked, and the Control V works into the To and Subject portion of the the Gmail I'm creating.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a LibreOffice writer file with a (.doc) extension
2. Control C a portion of that
3. Control V that into a new Gmail you are composing

Current behavior:  Copying does not occur.

Expected behavior:  Copying text ought to occur.

Thanks for your help!!!!!!!!            
Operating System: Windows (other)

look like a duplicate of Bug 74949.

feel free to reopen if you think you are describing a different issue.

please also tell me if it happens with any web browser and if it affects other sites different from Gmail.
