Description Gérald Maruccia 2016-04-15 11:07:08 UTC
Ubuntu 14.04 amd64 LO 5.1.2.2 Build ID 1.5.1.2~rc2-0ubuntu1~trusty0 locale fr-FR (fr_FR.UTF-8)

To name a sheet in Calc I double click on the tab of that sheet at the bottom of the screen.

I like to have the name of my calc file in that tab.

So when I «save as» my calc file, I also copy the name of the file using ctrl+c or select + right-click + copy

Then I go back to the tab sheet but I can't paste there :
- Ctrl+v does nothing
- right-click paste has no effect
- calc hangs on / freezes a few seconds before i can do something else

I can copy-paste the content of a cell into tab sheet.

So the workaround is to first paste into a cell then paste from that cell to tab sheet.

But why can't I copy-paste from «save as» dialog box to tab sheet ?

Hi @Gérald Maruccia,

there are characters not allowed for sheet names.

Find the information here:

Hello thanx for your answer mario but what you suggest has nothing to do with my "problem".

I only use plain letters and figures, no spaces, no special characters a.s.o.

I can't paste in tab-sheet what I've copied from the « save as » dialog box.

Left is « save as » where I want to copy from

Right is « tab sheet » where i want to paste into what I've copied from « save as »

I can paste into a cell what I've just copied from « save as » but I can't paste it into « tab sheet » straightaway.

I already had this behavior in 4.1 branch of LO.
Comment 5 Gérald Maruccia 2016-04-16 19:03:57 UTC
mmm sorry for that mistake :

[ I can paste into a cell what I've just copied from « save as » ]

In fact no I can not paste into a cell what I've just copied from « save as » !

It makes calc freezes a short moment (turns grey) and nothing is pasted.

I can paste it though to text-editor, to a web-browser, gimp…

Same behavior with writer : unable to paste what's just been copied into « save as »

I can confirm with Version: 5.2.0.0.alpha0+
Build ID: 0f27cc992a99568e46ffe807ef9dbb5ba0bc601f
CPU Threads: 4; OS Version: Linux 4.2; UI Render: default; 
TinderBox: Linux-rpm_deb-x86_64@70-TDF, Branch:master, Time: 2016-04-12_23:40:16
and LO #3.5
Comment 7 raal 2016-04-17 15:00:41 UTC
I can not copy text to cell and no hangs/freeze occurs.

Hi @Gérald, sorry for my misunderstanding.

Looks an only Linux issue, I can't reproduce with:
Win10x64
Version: 5.1.2.2 (x64)
Build ID: d3bf12ecb743fc0d20e0be0c58ca359301eb705f
CPU Threads: 1; OS Version: Windows 6.19; UI Render: GL;

Works fine for me using system or LibreOffice Open/Save dialogs.
(Menu/Tools/Options/LibreOffice/General)

I tested it in

Version: 6.1.5.2
Build-ID: 1:6.1.5-3+deb10u5
CPU-Threads: 2; BS: Linux 4.19; UI-Render: Standard; VCL: gtk3; 
Gebietsschema: de-DE (de_DE.UTF-8); Calc: group threaded

and

Version: 6.4.3.2 (x64)
Build-ID: 747b5d0ebf89f41c860ec2a39efd7cb15b54f2d8
CPU-Threads: 4; BS: Windows 10.0 Build 18362; UI-Render: Standard; VCL: win; 
Gebietsschema: de-DE (de_DE); UI-Sprache: de-DE
Calc: threaded

and it works for both. I could copy the name of the file into the Tab Rename Dialog.

Comment 13 Andreas Heinisch 2024-01-17 22:04:24 UTC
I cannot reproduce it in:
Version: 24.8.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: ed62e272ecc5a5642fe6e1c9e8b7575a02f5f521
CPU threads: 6; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win
Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-US
Calc: CL threaded

Nor with the same build on Linux. I would close it as WorksForMe.
Feel free to open it again if the issue persists.
