Description slowman_xxx 2014-09-24 09:16:34 UTC
Problem description: 

Just upgraded to Version: 4.2.6.3
Build ID: 3fd416d4c6db7d3204c17ce57a1d70f6e531ee21

NB: Version 4.2.6.3 is not available in your dropdown list

Steps to reproduce:
1. .... Copy text from MS Word
2. .... Paste text into Writer


Current behavior: Writer treats the text as an image

Expected behavior: Previously it has always treated it as formatted text which is obviously a lot more useful...

              
Operating System: Windows 7
Version: 4.2.6.2 release

Thank you for this bug report.

Confirmed on fr-discuss mailing-list. See discussion starting here:

Workaround: use paste special.

Best regards. JBF

Also having this issue (LO 4.2.6.3). The workaround is not good because this bug seems to come with associated 'problems'. The usual scenario on my machine is:
1) Open LO - New document
2) SHIFT-CTRL-V - no result; going via Edit menu has the Paste Special greyed out

Only solution:
2) CTRL-V
3) Delete graphic
4) Usually SHIFT-CTRL-V then works but only once

This appears to be working for me in 5.0, both in Calc and Writer.

If a specific commit/fix is not known, then it should be marked as WorksForMe, not Fixed.
But if bug where it's resolved it known, then it's a duplicate. In this case, looks like of Bug 81835.

Timur,

Bug 81835 is actually the cause of this issue. This is about pasting from MS Office apps like Word being broken, so it's a dupe of bug 35176, which has NOT been resolved. Still broken in today's 5.4 master.
