--- Comment #7 from David Rankin <[email protected]> ---
To be clear, this should be the default manner of operation in Linux when using
the "select buffer". That is also the easiest way to implement it. Since you
have two buffers in Linux:

(1) "select buffer" - filled automatically on selection of text

(2) "copy buffer" - filled when ctrl+c (or copy) is selected

When you select text from a web page, and use the "middle-mouse" button to
paste it into OO writer, it should paste as plain-text only without any html
(or other) formatting. Indention should be preserver across multiple lines
(i.e. source code)

The new option "[ ] Paste Plain Text by Default (no formatting)" should cause
both the select and copy buffers to be pasted into OO writer as plain-text
only, when checked, regardless of whether the middle-mouse or ctrl+v "paste" is
used. This will eliminate/prevent the user having to:

(1) press ctrl+shift+v
(2) then select "Unformatted Text"; then
(3) choose OK to complete the plain-text paste

This will greatly enhance usability when creating collaborative documents
assembled from many differing web sources. Keeping the html formatting on paste
when assembling a document from many sources creates a formatting nightmare
that this enhancement will completely eliminate.
