I thought I'd found something about this on the web before, but I can't now.

On my RH Fedora 1 system I'm trying to cut'n'paste from OOo 1.1.0 to LyX 1.3.4. This doesn't work: only the first line or maybe few lines is pasted (this is by selecting the text with the mouse in OOo, then pasting with the middle button or menu->Copy external selection in LyX).

However, if I copy from OOo to KWrite, this works OK (suggesting OpenOffice can work) and if I copy from KWrite to LyX this works OK too (suggesting that LyX can work).

Is this a LyX problem? An OOo problem? Is there a better fix or workaround than using KWrite as an intermediate program?

BTW, I notice that in the French menus (OK, it's not me trying to do this, it's someone else who runs LyX in French) it says "Copier Selection Externe" and presumably it should be "Coller Selection Externe".
