I just lost a document to the Cut / Paste feature not working after closing Libre Office Writer 4.2.5 RC2. In LibreOffice Writer hit Ctrl+X on some text, close the program and then attempt to paste to Google Docs or another program. My clipboard is cleared. If I didn't save my document (which I didn't) - my text in the clipboard is completly wiped out. This is a _extreemly_ critical bug for _all_ users as it diminishes functionality.
Dear elecricprism, Thank you for reporting. This is a problem with the Linux clipboard system and has been reported before and its hoped that it will be fixed. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 48783 ***
May I suggest that LO checks whether the Linux Clipboard is in use and if so displays a warning message on exit as this is the standard for other office suites? Something like: "There is text stored in the clipboard, this text will be deleted once Libre Writer is closed, do you want to continue?" [Yes] [No]
Hi elecricprism, This is a linux problem that we hope libreoffice will decide to use a workaround to fix for its linux users. This problem effects all linux applications, which is why its recommended to use a clipboard manager like parcellite to solve it for all apps.
