Bug ID: 165289
Summary: Copy Paste of Textboxes results in a picture
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Impress
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: seamuscr...@protonmail.com
I was using an MXlinux supplied version of LO when this occurred. It started a
few days after an MXlinux update in early February and I do not know what it
updated. I asked both MXlinux Forum and AskLibreOffice.
Cutting a long story short the Impress part of LO stopped copying textboxes and
drawn objects as the original and converted them to pictures (the first seemed
to be png files. This made my use of Impress impossible.
I removed the MX version and replaced it with a free standing version of LO
still the same problem
Right clicking the mouse only gave Paste as an option. I was advised to use the
main menu rather than the shortcut menu to use the paste special but it was not
available.
I tried changing clipboard managers but the problem persisted and at this point
removed the latest version and went back to 7.6. Still the problem existed.
I have a laptop with the same operating system as the desktop and it too has
the same problem. This system is never changed, only updated from MXlinux.
The final part of this saw me remove from synaptic any reference to clipboard
or clipman, mentioned in forums AskLibreOffice and MXinux forum, so that the
only paste references found in synaptic were
node-copy-paste
libgpaste-2-common
libgpaste-2
gpaste-2
The result was that an attempt to copy / paste had the same problem of an image
being pasted. However, if the same article was copied a second time the textbox
was pasted. This can be repeated over and over again when copying the same
thing but a new object copied always fails the first time.
A contributor to my post had a asimilar problem of this alternate success and
failure of pasting in Impress and found that the xfce component of his system,
when replaced, got rid of the problem.
I can appreciate this is possibly a combination effect of OS/LO but it only
started a week ago, is only apparent in Libre Office regardless of which
version of LO is used
All the hardware has been purchased in the last three years
