           Summary: Copy & Paste to Excel may not paste contents in
                    clipboard if content's length >= 256
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.3.3.1 rc
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor

Description:
See STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open LibreOffice Calc
2. in Cell A1, type as follows
= REPT("a",255)
3. in Cell A2, type as follows
= REPT("a",256)
4. Select A1:A2 in Calc
5. Open Excel(I used Excel 2016)
6. Select A1:A2 cell in Excel
7. 
DO any of the following to reproduce the problem.

7-a. Ctrl + V
7-b. Click the toolbar button with "Paste" as its title
7-c. select context menu item "Paste Special", choose "SYLK" format 

DONT DO the following.

7-d. Select Paste options like "Keep source formatting" nor "Match destination
formatting" in context menu.

Actual Results:  
In Excel 
A1 will show 255 'a' letters
A2 will show nothing

Expected Results:
In Excel 
A1 will show 255 'a' letters
A2 will show 256 'a' letters


Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
I guess that SYLK only supports 255 characters as its cell content and that
Excel tries to parse data with this type in a strict way. Then, Excel tries not
to paste invalid data.
