Actually this is the wrong approach. The issue on Windows more often than not
is the presence of 3rd party apps that muddle control of MS Windows Clipboard
APIs.

The Windows clipboard is stateful -- one app at a time has control of writing
to and reading from, as well disposing its buffered content.  LibreOffice has
internal clipboard structures (XClipboard based) which are then interfaced to
the MS Windows APIs.

In fact, LibreOffice XClipboard tries to play nicely with the OS
clipboard--gaining control and releasing when it is called back. Problems
happen for us when other programs are not so fastidious. Windows OS memory and
clipboard managers are some of the worse offenders in that regard.  (See
comment 28 comment 31 comment 38)

What is likely needed within LibreOffice is a refactoring of the XClipboard
(and then connecting that to appropriate Linux, OS X and Windows APIs) to
include additional UI controls for:
1) our internal clipboard,
2) our interaction with the OS clipboard, 
3) an ability to flush internal as well as system clipboard, 
4) an ability to reegain/lock access/control of the system clipboard, 
5) a GUI panel (probably on the Sidebar) to display the clipboard object stack.

All of which are clearly an enhancement--which this issue is not.

And, this issue should be Closed Insufficientdata as the OP has yet to respond
about specific issue as titled--and the later issues remain too spurious and
nonreproducible with out STR as to be valid.
