--- 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. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
