            Bug ID: 136631
           Summary: Attempting to paste content from Notepad to LO .odt
                    Can Fail
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.6.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
My workflow has me frequently copying/cutting content from a notepad .txt on my
first monitor to an LO .odt on my second monitor. Normally this works fine, but
recently I've run into an issue where sometimes LO thinks I have nothing
copied. When this happens and I right-click in the LO doc, the Paste option is
greyed out. But when I attempt to paste (w/out performing an additional copy)
in Notepad, it recognizes I have something copied and pastes it.

Obviously this bug is very irritating and interferes with my workflow. I can
generally finangle it to work after a bit (e.g., by closing and reopening the
LO doc, or moving the .txt to the second monitor and re-copying the content),
but not always consistently and I haven't hammered down an elegant solution to
this problem.

I have no idea if this can occur with other word processor programs besides the
combination of Notepad and LO, but I know that the copy-paste issue does not
happen between two notepad .txt's even when they're on separate screens.

It might be possible that this can occur with a single monitor setup, but so
far I've only run into this issue when using a second monitor.

It may be that a large document is necessary (think > 800 KB large w/ just text
and > 1200 headings) to reproduce this issue, as that's the only case that I've
run into this problem with so far.

One possibility I've thought of is that the computer going to sleep can somehow
make this possible afterward. I'll keep track of this to see if the issue ever
occurs for me before my computer has gone to sleep once.

Currently I'm using LO 7.1, but I first ran into this issue w/ 6.4. That was
actually why I upgraded to 7.1, hoping get rid of it, but it's still there.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open notepad on first monitor.
2. Open LO .odt on second monitor.
3. Continue to cut content from the notepad and paste it in the LO .odt until
the attempt to paste fails.

Actual Results:
On occasion LO will think you have nothing copied, and the paste option shows
as greyed out. Requires finangling to fix.

Expected Results:
Should paste the content currently in the clipboard.


Reproducible: Sometimes


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Running Windows 10.
