Bug ID: 165953
Summary: Ctl-V paste from clipboard into Find search box
sometimes does not work normally
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 25.2.0.0 alpha0+
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: UI
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
LO Writer (master). Ubuntu 24.04 LTS running Xorg session.
Text copied to the clipboard with Ctl-C can not be pasted into the Ctl-F search
box in the middle or end of the existing text; it can *only* replace the entire
search phrase.
Also, Ctl-V does not paste the first time; you have to type Ctl-V 2 or more
times to get the clipboard text to appear in the search box.
This is most obvious (and confusing) when pasting text copied from an external
source such as gnome-terminal, but also affects copy/paste from the current LO
document.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create or open any LO writer document containing some text.
Close the Find search box if it is open (click the red circle with an X)
2. Select part of the text with mouse
3. Control-F (Find search box appears, pre-populated with the selected text)
4. Copy something else to the Xorg clipboard (from the LO document by selecting
with mouse and Ctl-C, or from an outside source using that program's method)
5. Click at end of the text which is already in the ^F search box. Click again
if necessary to un-select the exiting text. The Text Cursor should be at the
end of the pre-populated search text.
6. Control-V
RESULTS: The pre-populated text is highlighted again. Nothing is pasted.
EXPECTED: Text in the clipboard should be pasted at the cursor
7. Control-V (again)
RESULT2: Pre-populated text is *replaced* (ignoring position of the cursor)
