            Bug ID: 148482
           Summary: When pasting requires fetching remote content, ask for
                    permission
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: Inherited From OOo
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Keywords: needsUXEval
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: eyalr...@gmx.com

Sometimes, pasting content from the clipboard requires fetching content from
the network. I don't quite understand how this makes sense, but apparently it
happens (see, for example, 148407 regarding the pasting of content copied from
a web-browser).

A user may not be interested in having the content fetched at all; or they may
want the content fetched and the link broken; or they may want both the remote
content and the linkage to the remote source.

LO (or at least, LO Writer) should offer a dialog in which the user confirms
wishing to fetch remote content, where if they don't confirm, either the paste
is aborted, or occurs with no fetching (e.g empty background or placeholder
image or what-not). Alternatively, the dialog could make the user choose
between the three options.
