--- Comment #6 from G.Ostner (LOBugs) <[email protected]> ---
Some time between 4.1.3 (I think – I have it no longer installed) and 4.1.6 the
default clipboard format for pasting HTML was changed from HTML to plain text
("Unformatierter Text" in German).
Steps to reproduce:
Open Firefox, select text and copy selected text 
Open Libreoffice Writer and paste using Ctrl-V (or Edit/Paste)

Result: Plain text is pasted from clipboard
Expected Result: Rich text (HTML) including formatting is pasted from clipboard

This is true for the latest update from openSUSE 12.3 repo Libreoffice Stable
(Libreoffice 4.1.6.3? - I am writing this on Windows), and I've also checked it
on Windows 7 (64bit) with Libreoffice 4.1.6.2 and Libreoffice 4.2.4.2. Both
have the same bug.

As a side effect, I can no longer paste formatted text under Linux by simply
middle-clicking in Writer after selecting it in another window since the
default clipboard format is plain text.

I've run a few more tests with 4.2.4.2 under Win7/64 and have found the
following:
1. Writer: Strg-V pastes plain text, Ctrl-Shift-V offers "HTML" and "HTML
(without comments)" as alternatives. Here the new behaviour is just an
annoyance, because I have to remember to press Ctrl-Shift-V (Edit/Paste
Special) and select HTML every time I paste text.
2. Calc still pastes formatted text by default, but not all attributes:
Textcolor YES, Texthighlight NO
3. Impress: Impress ALWAYS pastes plain text, it’s also the only format offered
on Invoking "Paste Special".
4. Draw: same as Impress

So this seems a bug with system-wide consequences.

This can't be a feature, I hope: Why should a user have to give up some
information (= text formatting) by default?

I think the most sensible would be to have "HTML (without comments)" as the
default clipboard format: that way one would lose no important formatting
information, but the huge number of HTML comments inserted by many CMS-based
websites would not need removing.
