[Bug 1879968] Re: copy/paste still sometimes fails in LibreOffice on Ubuntu 20.04
Oh dear. Davide, you are right. I habitually use keyboard control keys for cut, copy and paste, and had to try quite hard to get the problem. Using the context menu (within one writer document) it fails for almost every other try. Using the main menu it rarely fails, but it did occasionally. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1879968 Title: copy/paste still sometimes fails in LibreOffice on Ubuntu 20.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/1879968/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I tried libreoffice (calc and writer) on two real machines. If I use the copy command from the context menu (mouse right click), it fails once every two (second, fourth, sixth,...). With the other methods the error rate is approximately 1/20 (the one indicated by Adam) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1879968 Title: copy/paste still sometimes fails in LibreOffice on Ubuntu 20.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/1879968/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1879968] Re: copy/paste still sometimes fails in LibreOffice on Ubuntu 20.04
I tried to reproduce bug #1852183 with just one writer document, and failed to do so after the mutter update. Maybe I didn't try hard enough, but it didn't re-occur after many trials in one writer document. However, I have now tested copying between two writer documents, and reproduced the same problem. It took me many cope/cut and pastes (well over 20) until it started to happen, and then it started to happen quite frequently, say 1 in 3 or 4. It seems from several reports that this is a slippery problem, affecting different users in slightly different ways. To me that implies there could be timing and/or load issues affecting the process. However, I am but a simple user, long past my techie days. I don't understand how the previous report can have been marked as fixed, since Adam Dingle had already said it didn't fully fix the problem. No matter. The bug still exists. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1879968 Title: copy/paste still sometimes fails in LibreOffice on Ubuntu 20.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/1879968/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1879968] Re: copy/paste still sometimes fails in LibreOffice on Ubuntu 20.04
** Description changed: In Ubuntu 19.10 and 20.04 there was a bug that caused copy and paste operations to fail pretty often: the text that was pasted was not the text that was just copied. See the long discussion at bug #1852183. The bug was recently marked closed, since the package mutter - 3.36.2-1ubuntu1~20.04.1 landed in focal-updates and makes the bug occur much less frequently. Unfortunately the bug still exists, and is not difficult to reproduce. I am running Ubuntu 20.04 and have the new 3.36.2-1ubuntu1~20.04.1 - version of mutter. I just opened two LibreOffice Write windows side by + version of mutter. I just opened two LibreOffice Writer windows side by side, and repeatedly selected some text in the left window, copied it, then attempted to paste it into the right window. In my experiment, approximately 1 in every 20 paste operations failed: it did not paste the text that was just copied, but instead the text that was copied before that. Now, an error rate of 1 in 20 may not seem so bad. On the other hand, if you spend all day writing a document and copy and paste dozens of times during the day, then you may hit this bug multiple times per day (as I have been recently), which is a significant annoyance. I tested in LibreOffice since that is where I have seen the bug most often, but I have also seen it occur in other applications as well. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1879968 Title: copy/paste still sometimes fails in LibreOffice on Ubuntu 20.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/1879968/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
