Bug ID: 151864
Summary: Paste Special [No selection possible] when copying
text from a web browser
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.4.1.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
When trying to copy text into Calc using Paste Special, I expect to see the
context menu (specifically to select "Unformatted Text") but instead I see a
greyed out "[No selection possible]". If I close the file and reopen it, the
menu becomes available again
Steps to Reproduce:
1. open a file in Calc
2. highlight text from a website and copy it with ctrl-c (for example, choose a
week's worth of scores from https://www.footballdb.com/games/index.html)
3. right-click a cell and hover over "Paste Special" and see a greyed out "[No
selection possible]"
4. close Calc
5. reopen the file in Calc
6. right-click a cell and hover over "Paste Special" and now see the expected
context menu
Actual Results:
can't paste copied data into calc without having to reload the file
Expected Results:
option to paste unformatted text into calc without having to reload the file
Reproducible: Sometimes
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
i can't pinpoint exactly when this bug happens... after i reload the file, i
can't reproduce it right away. it normally happens each week when i update my
football pool spreadsheet, so i'm guessing it has something to do with the
timing between using the clipboard and the initial loading of calc and/or my
web browser into memory
also, next week i will attempt to use the ctrl-alt-shift-v keyboard shortcut
while seeing '[no selection possible]' to see if that works before reloading
the file
