Hi All, first my system's description:

lucas@test:~$ uname -a
Linux test 3.11.0-20-generic #35-Ubuntu SMP Fri May 2 21:32:49 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
lucas@test:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Ubuntu
Description:	Ubuntu 13.10
Release:	13.10
Codename:	saucy

Now, when trying to copy a big image by selecting a region on the screen to the clipboard, then I cannot paste that selection into writer or calc. I'm using the 'screenshot' application that comes with Xubuntu.

If trying to paste into calc, then calc answers: "The contents of the clipboard could not be pasted". If trying to paste into writer, it hangs for about 6/8 seconds and then does nothing.

Nevertheless, if I do try and paste the same selection on Gimp, it does work. According to Gimp, the size of the copied image is 359 × 278 pixels.

However, if I do copy/select half the size of the previous selection (184 × 275 pixels), then pasting works, both on writer or calc (it does also work on Gimp).

Any hint?

Regards,

Lucas

Hi All,

I've just installed clipman (sudo apt-get install xfce4-clipman) and the issue 'bout pasting apparently is solved.

I'll keep an eye on this and keep you posted.

Regards!

If you have time, please do the following:

   Test to see if the bug is still present on a currently supported version of LibreOffice (4.4.3 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

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";
