Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
Since I can remember it is always almost impossible to copy text out of
Openoffice with just selecting the text and paste it somewhere else with
the middle mouse button (is there a name for this great unix/linux-
feature?).
When you select a text in Openoffice and want to paste it with the
middle mouse button in e.g. a Firefox text form or Kate, the pasted text
is cut off. The exact position where it's cut off is not always the same
and if you select e.g. only a few words it works. Most of the times the
start of the selection is shown, but also sometimes the middle part or
the end part.
There seems to be some kind of structure in this bug:
1. How further down into the document you select the text, how bigger the
problem.
2. How more selections you make, how bigger the problem.
Above rules are not always the same, so maybe it's coincidence.
The bug is also present in reverse (dropping into Openoffice, although
not as worse as into Openoffice), except for formatted content from out
of Firefox (that is pasted 100% correct, i.
This bug is very important if you are someone who wants to quickly
select and drop text from out of or into Openoffice. All the other
applications in Linux don't have this problem. Please fix?!
