            Bug ID: 59772
          Assignee: [email protected]
           Summary: LibreOffice Writer takes a long time to convert images
                    on the clipboard to rich text (RTF) format
          Severity: normal
    Classification: Unclassified
                OS: Linux (All)
          Reporter: [email protected]
          Hardware: x86 (IA32)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
           Version: 3.6.2.2 release
         Component: Writer
           Product: LibreOffice

I have a test .odt document with some small images in it. I have found that
pasting the text with those images into Word running in Wine (version 1.5.22 or
greater, as some fixes were required to Wine's INCR support), exceeds Wine's
timeout of 0.5 seconds. Word (and thus Wine) requests the data as rich text,
which requires Writer to do a conversion. Each image copied adds about 0.5
seconds to the time it takes to paste. Individually, this may be reasonable,
but for a relatively small amount of images it could really add up.

I believe this should also be the case on Windows with Word, but because the
Windows clipboard code does not have a timeout I expect Word will simply hang
for the time required to complete the paste.

I have a test program that I use to paste data on X11, which is how I am doing
my timing tests. I will attach that program and some instructions for using it.
