            Bug ID: 109343
           Summary: Cannot paste formatted text (.rtf) from clipboard on
                    Mac. It comes always unformatted.
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.3.4.2 release
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Mac OS X (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: electric at triad.rr.com

Description:
When I copy text from TextEdit or Notes on the Mac, which is formatted as RTF,
I lose all formatting when pasting. This makes LibreOffice unusable for me
because I have lots of text from these two sources to paste into documents.
This used to work on 4.x.x versions of LibreOffice, but I have never had it
work on 5.x.x versions so I quit using the program.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Coply text from TextEdit or Apple Notes to the clipboard
2. Try to paste into LibreOffice Writer
3. All formatting, bold, italic, and font usage is lost

Actual Results:  
Same as above

Expected Results:
I expect the text to paste as formatted text using bold, italic, and all font
and paragraph formatting.


Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: No, but I have tried on many versions of Writer 5.x.x

Additional Info:
It works on old versions of LibreOffice. Versions 4.x.x but I don't know where
I can download those versions. I would like to be able to use the latest
version.

Since I lose all formatting data, the program is not usable for me.
