Public bug reported:
There is a bug that stops me from pasting any text that was copied from
an SVG document into LibreOffice Writer. For some reason, it does not
effect Impress/Calc. Also, it only happens in non-windows versions of
LibreOffice.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Copy some text from an SVG document (Like the CCNA Explorer Curriculum)
2) Try to paste it into LibreOffice Writer
3) You get an error message that says: "Requested clipboard format is not
available"
If I do a "Paste Special" from the menu bar and choose "Unformatted
text", it works fine. Also, I can paste the text into gedit/leafpad and
re-copy/re-paste it from gedit/leafpad into LibreOffice Writer. However,
using menus/dialog/leafpad every time I need to paste something is very
annoying and inefficient. I think that it happens because LibreOffice
cannot recognize/transfer the type of formatting used in SVG documents
due to incompatibilities with the file type.
This could probably be fixed by setting the paste function to
automatically use Special Paste if the font/formatting cannot transfer.
This would be a much better way to handle unknown formats than the
current method of showing an error and not pasting it at all. It would
also be much easier to implement than full support for SVG.
