Tested it in 3.3.0 and same issue so inhereted from OOo.
(This is an automated message.) LibreOffice development currently prioritizes bugs with the so called MAB (most annoying bugs) -- as this bug has not run through that process (including writing a short rationale for this bug being a candidate and other who are watching the tracker bug silently approving that rationale etc.) its priority is set to high. Note this is effectively no change in the urgency assigned to this bug, as we are currently not making a difference between high and highest and severity is untouched. You can find out more about MABs and how the process works by contacting libreoffice qa on irc: http://webchat.freenode.net/?channels=libreoffice-qa The QA wiki page also gives you hints on how to get in contact with the team (if IRC fails you, your next best choice is the mailing list): https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA
Bug is still there with v4.4.3.2 under mint 17.1. On windows you can paste the info, because it's set as 'unformatted text'. On linux you can *also* select RTF format. RTF format paste doesn't exist under windows. So when you select RTF with linux, you get this error.
I am having this problem with LibreOffice 4.2.8.2 on Linux Mint 17.1 with Adobe Flash Player 11.2.202.460 I believe reports 40176 and 68765 are related to this one. The problem I am having is using a similar copy-to-clipboard function on https://www.citethisforme.com/ (It used to work on that web site but they changed it a few weeks ago to Flash and it has not worked since.) It just makes LibreOffice say "Requested clipboard format is not available.". It is very annoying when using that web site since the purpose of it is to format text for you; using paste special defeats the object of the web site's function. As for it existing in v3.3.0, going by a Google search for "Requested clipboard format is not available.", I think it may have also been reported in Star Office 6 in 2002 and oo.o 2.1 in 2007!
Yes the three have identical info, so the one with the most useful details should be kept and others closed as duplicates.
