--- Comment #8 from Mike A. Harris <[email protected]> ---
I'm experiencing this very exact problem in Calc on Windows 7/x64 using version
5.1.4.2 of LibreOffice. It is 100% reproduceable for me.
I have a spreadsheet open, I go to a web page in Firefox 47.0.1 or Thunderbird
HTML email or any other HTML or RTF source and highlight a few words or a
sentence or more, switch back to LibreOffice Calc and right click to
paste-special and remove the formatting. When I do this sometimes it just
works no problem, other times all of the paste options are either missing
entirely from the right click context menu or they're greyed out. If it is
bugging out and anything shows it is "Paste Only" and it says greyed out in the
submenu off of that "<No selection possible>". If I then save my document,
exit Calc completely, reopen calc and reload the same document - without
modifying the clipboard, then right click into the same cell, magically all of
the paste options show up again and it works.
At that point I might be able to copy and paste a few more things from
Firefox/Thunderbird etc. and have it work, or it will do it again after a few
more pastes completely at random. Save+exit+restart+reload and right click
fixes it every time.
Like someone mentioned above, I've found via testing that if I paste the text
into Notepad on Windows first, then re-highlight it in Notepad and try to
right-click paste it into Calc it will work fine.
Additionally, when the problem described occurs and all of the paste options
are greyed out and/or non-functional on the context menu and top pulldown menus
- CTRL-V still works even though Paste is greyed out. But by "works" I mean it
pastes rich text into the document and it always has randomly different results
that seem to have no pattern.
In all cases, saving and exiting and reloading solves all of the cut and paste
problems for at least one single paste for sure, and maybe 2-3 if I get lucky.
