Bug ID: 151778
Summary: navigator: send outline to clipboard only copies it to
Writer's clipboard, cannot paste it in external
program/application
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.4.2.3 release
Hardware: All
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
when sending outline to clipboard it doesn't make it possible in an external
program, another text editor, for example, to paste it there...
only in Libreoffice can you paste it...
suggestion: "Send" replaced with "Copy" -- Copy to Clipboard
this action people are familiar with owing to using Youtube
...... NOTE:
when we copy something, it is better to call it "copy", not "send" which we
link to "sending"...
programmers, sure, use send al the time...
but Libreoffice is not for programming :)
and if the term "Copy" is used there won't be a confusion if the person had
anything else on that (main) clipboard ready to be pasted and it would be gone,
replaced by that outline :)
Nor would be the person surprised if s/he had a piece of text on her clipboard
ready to be pasted and the outline would replace it...
so, basically there appears to be no reason to be so precautious as to "send"
it to another clipboard probably not in use at that moment :)
bigger is the surprise when someone wants to paste it in another text editor or
browser cannot paste it than if realizing that what was on the clipboard the
other moment is gone now :)
Steps to Reproduce:
1. send outline to clipboard
2. open an external text editor, try to paste it there
3.
Actual Results:
nothing happens
Expected Results:
the outline should be pasted
Reproducible: Always
