Description vedyimyn 2016-04-23 10:59:41 UTC
User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/50.0.2661.75 Safari/537.36
Build Identifier:  5.1.2.2.0+

I cannot paste text properly from any Java app (from a textarea to a cell in a spreadsheet). Instead of my text I get "��" in a cell.

The problem occurs when the Java app features Swing or AWT text areas. Pasting from JavaFX components works correctly.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Run any Java app containing a text area (not a JavaFX one).
2. Type a text in the text area.
3. Paste it into any cell in a spreadsheet.
Actual Results:  
I see two question marks pasted into the cell: �� (exactly these).

Expected Results:  
I expect to see the text I wrote pasted exactly as I wrote it.

Locale: pl
Module: SpreadsheetDocument

OS: Debian Stretch 64bit
Java version: 8u77+8u77arm-1~webupd8~4 (pasted from the package manager)

There is an easy workaround: I usually paste my text from the Java app to Gedit and from there to the spreadsheet.

Pasting from Java app to the Writer causes similar problem. I believe it's linked to the one I describe.

ctrl+shift+v  works?

> ctrl+shift+v  works?

It doesn't. I get a dialog box in which I read:
Source: Source unknown
One option below: unformatted text.

After I press "Ok" the two question marks (��) are pasted.

Please find some java app which we can use for testing.

Unfortunately I don't remember the source of the app.

The bug occurs with this one for sure, I've just checked it.

Thanks for the app. I can not reproduce with Version: 5.2.0.0.alpha0+

so it seems only related to Debian's version. @vedyimyn: have you tested it with one of our versions and does this bug appear there, too? If so, feel free to change the status back to "UNCONFIRMED". Otherwise it would be nice if you could report this to Debian's own bugtracker at https://bugs.debian.org/libreoffice and close this one ... ;)
HTH
Thomas.
