Bug ID: 158947
Summary: Pasting clipboard contents is not possible under
certain circumstances with Wayland
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.5.2.2 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
Selecting and copying text in LO Writer BEFORE trying to copy text into LO
Writer from somewhere else, results in the original LO selected text being
copied into the clipboard, deletion of the selected text from LO Writer, and an
error saying the clipboard format is not available. This is reproducible in
Safe Mode.
Steps to Reproduce:
Using KDE Plasma (5.27.9) with Wayland i.e. KWin on Debian (Trixie)
1. Open LO Writer (7.6.4~rc1-1+b2)
2. Open (for example) Firefox (115.6.0esr-1)
3. Select and copy text in LO, leaving the text selected
4. Alt+Tab away into Firefox
5. Copy some text in Firefox
6. Alt+Tab back into LO, where the original text is still selected
7a. Try to paste, OR
7b. Click in LO Writer to deselect text, select some text again, then try to
paste
Actual Results:
The selected text gets deleted (perhaps due to pasting nothing over the
selected text, rather than pasting the text in clipboard?) and the original
text that was selected in LO is copied into clipboard. An error message shows
saying the clipboard format is not available.
Expected Results:
The text in the clipboard should be pasted over (replace) the selected text in
LO Writer.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
This is reproducible in Safe Mode.
The problem occurs when pasting from places other than Firefox (Konsole,
Mousepad, Kate etc). In these cases the behaviour is the same.
I don't have this problem in LO Calc.
Deselecting the text in LO Writer before pasting works fine and pastes the
clipboard.
Copying between LO Writer and Calc always works fine.
Using Ctrl+Shift+V and selecting paste unformatted, doesn't work REGARDLESS of
whether text is selected and copied in LO Writer. This seems similar / same
behaviour as here https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=156562
and here https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=157373
Discussion of related problem in KDE bug tracker:

These problems existed in LO version 7.5.2.2 installed from the website
download, I have updated to LO 7.6.4.1 from the repo and the problem persists.
