            Bug ID: 118599
           Summary: EDITING: Paste uses wrong data
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.3.7.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: imnotpc at Rock3d.net

I've had this problem for months but it is such a big issue I assumed it had to
be me or my hardware. Today it manifested itself in a different way and I don't
see how it could be anything I'm doing.

When copying or cutting then pasting a cell or cells the previously selected
data is used instead of the currently selected data. In other words it pastes
the previous entry on the clipboard instead of the current one. This does not
happen all the time but it does happen most of the time. Sometimes it doesn't
recognize the data that's being pasted and will ask what format it should be
pasted as.

I can reproduce this on different Calc spreadsheets but no other programs are
affected and pasting works normally for Thunderbird, kwrite and other programs.

Another manifestation is that occasionally when selecting and overwriting a
data range in the formula bar the beginning of the range is replaced with the
ending range and the ending range becomes a very large unrelated number. This
happens randomly but on average about 1 out of 20 times.

Today the third and most serious manifestation occurred. I copy and pasted a
range of cells containing formulas and they appeared fine. Then I noticed that
the data in the first cell had a value that couldn't be right. The formula
contained a range of values divided by an integer (creating an average of the
values). When you highlighted the cell the correct range and formula appeared
but the value was wrong. It appears that when it pasted the cell range the
beginning range updated correctly but the ending range didn't change so that
the pasted range now contained the incorrect number of cells.

This is a big deal since there is no way to know then the formula value is
wrong. The formula in the bar is correct but the underlying data references the
wrong range.

Here's the specific version I'm using:
Version: 5.3.7.2.0+
Build ID: 5.3.7.2-3.mga6
CPU Threads: 8; OS Version: Linux 4.14; UI Render: default; VCL: gtk3; Layout
Engine: new; 
Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); Calc: group
