Speaking about system-specific programming, I only know something about Windows; so please excuse if I speak nonsense here in macOS-specific issue. I can imagine, that the currently implemented behavior is just created uniformly on all OSes, with Windows-specific behavior being the main focus, without taking into account, that possibly this behavior (pasting DDE links to other applications) might make no sense on other OSes (?). It could make sense like "well, even if this format is not used on other OSes, it doesn't hurt; so the less system-specific code, the better". On all other OSes, it *might* be a reasonable assumption that only pasting DDE links from LibreOffice into LibreOffice itself might be useful, to create links between different LO documents. If so, then an app-internal clipboard would retain the main use case, so not disable it completely. All that makes sense only if pasting DDE links to applications other than LibreOffice itself doesn't make sense on macOS. And here, I lack any expertise. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
