These tests were done on a Macbook running Parallels, so OS X and Windows XP
were used. The copy source was Firefox. By paste to windows I mean pasting
to Office 2003 Word in XP. This behavior is consistent in OpenOffice Writer
in OS X and Windows XP. Word will paste all the pictures fine and it will
not lock up.

Hi,
Which application is your copy source?
Firefox, Internet Explorer, ... ?
There is a known issue, that certain linked graphics of a website copied
from the Internet Explorer aren't visible. Reason: If the links to the
graphics are given relative to the website address, the links can't be
resolved.
What do you means by "paste to Windows"?
Do you mean that you've pasted to a document of Microsoft Word?
Regards, Oliver.

Not exactly sure why, but from certain sites OpenOffice.org Writer will
either lock up / lag for a while after the content was pasted. I see this
behavior and also another issue. I cut & pasted text from a web page and
it
took 83 seconds for the hourglass to go away. I also noticed that the
pictures that I cut were not displayed in the document after pasting.
Here's how to reproduce:
go to
http://www.tutorialsforopenoffice.org/tutorial/First_Time_User_OpenOffice_Writer.html#3.1.Change%20Margins|outline
cut the text from the heading "Activate the Tips Feature" to the heading
"Paper and Margins"
Paste into Writer. As you can see the pictures do not show up in the
document

But if I paste to WIndows it looks just like the original

Can anyone here give some feedback as to why this issue is occuring, and
a
possible fix?
As has already been stated, the issue is being resolved in the new OOo
2.3.0 which is being developed. I have OOo680m216 installed, and pasted
the page into Writer. It took about 3 seconds for the image to load in
Writer using my slow internet connection that was downloading a new
release of OOo at the same time. That tells me that the issue is mostly
related to your internet connection speed, and only in a limited way by
OOo itself. The best way to do this is to save the image or webpage to
your local computer and import it directly from there to Writer, making
sure to embed the images, not link to them.
