Description:
Lately on Linux (under an X11 session particularly), it would appear that text 
copied from a cell in Calc is sometimes stored in the clipboard as a bitmap.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Calc.
2. Type "hello" into a cell.
3. Select the cell.
4. Press Ctrl+C / Ctrl+V over and over.

Actual Results:
Eventually, instead of text, an image containing "hello" will be pasted.

Expected Results:
The text should be copied and pasted as text always.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

It's useful to know that a recent update to mutter is at least partly to
blame for this, as I cannot reproduce the issue on versions older than
3.34.

Mutter 3.34 introduced a new clipboard manager:

-Clipboard-Manager

However, LibreOffice does seem to be doing something strange in its type
requests from the clipboard (stand by for a comment from a colleague
with more mutter knowledge), so I suspect there may be fault on both
ends here.
