This is a bug report created based on bug 92788. Pasting using the middle mouse button no longer works when using the GTK3 version of LibreOffice. Steps to reproduce: 1) select some text with the mouse in another application 2) open a new document in LibreOffice Writer (use GTK3 build of LibreOffice) 3) click the middle mouse button in the document Result: Nothing happens. The document remains unchanged. Expected result: The previously selected text should be inserted into the Writer document.
This bug has previously been bibisected and bisected in bug 92788 (s. comments 4 and 8 in that bug report). The problem still occurs with bug 92788 being fixed. The respective commit, from which on the behaviour occurs is the following. If I revert that commit, pasting using the middle mouse button works again. I have tested this using master as of commit 4008b6f9bfd919a7435047bc0aedcf7613009809. commit 031a347668e56c1b38c0539d30e9a1cbb808ca02 Author: Caolán McNamara <caolanm@redhat.com> Date: Wed Jun 17 16:25:47 2015 +0100 use gtk3 vclplug by default under GNOME3 if available Change-Id: I4efe8bdfb7080365094306aee9db6b69a7f9e86a Bug 93054 also occurs since that commit.
presumably its not a true regression if the problem is that "middle paste works with the gtk3 vclplug and not with the gtk3 vclplug"
only CLIPBOARD is/was supported, will add PRIMARY as well
