            Bug ID: 108499
           Summary: "Secondary selection" clipboard is not functioning
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.3.3.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Dear Libre Office Developers,

This bug concerns Linux.

X11 has four clipboards.  Secondary and Primary are the most used.  Here is a
video showing each:

The "Secondary Selection" clipboard is not functioning in Libre Office.  This
is a productivity killer.

To reproduce, open a Writer with a lot of text in it, hold down the <ctrl> key
and leave it down, highlight some text not next to the cursor, move to the
mouse to another section not near the cursor, center mouse click to drop the
highlighted text (<ctrl> still pressed), release the <ctrl> key.  The
highlighted text should copy to the new mouse location and the cursor should
remain where it was originally.  The video shows this is great detail.

And, since this works in Leaf Pad and Leaf Pad is Open Source, it should be
pretty easy to figure out how to fix Libre Office.

Many thanks,
