            Bug ID: 129506
           Summary: Copy/Paste or Cut/Paste unpredictable
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.2.8.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: AndreHasekamp at netscape.net

Description:
This is a continuation of e.g. bugs 57147, 128853, 129291, but here I consider
only Copy/Paste or Cut/Paste within the same LibreOffice Writer document.

LibreOffice Still Writer, Version 6.2.8.2, running under ArchLinux (LibreOffice
Arch Linux Build ID: 6.2.8-3).
LibreOffice Fresh Writer, Version 6.3.4.2.0+ running under Arch Linux
distribution (LibreOffice Arch Linux Build ID: 6.3.4-1).

It is completely unpredictable when Copy/Paste or Cut/Paste succeeds or fails,
but in any case, after a few attempts it definitely fails. So, below I will
suggest a procedure, but you may have to repeat parts of the procedure before
you see that the Copy/Paste or Cut/Paste fails.

Consider the attached document.

Let's start with a piece of text.

Copy/Paste or Cut/Paste a piece of text. For a document freshly loaded from
disk, this usually succeeds.

Now, either save or don't save the document (eventually, please try both
possibilities).

Then, Copy/Paste or Cut/Paste another piece of text. Usually, upon this second
paste you will see that not the piece of text you think just copied or cut to
the clipboard, but instead, the previously pasted text is now pasted again.
This erroneous second paste occurs rather consistently, but otherwise please
try a third piece of text.

Do the same with images and frames. Please, primarily do the Cut/Paste because
that is what I normally do.

When the Paste goes wrong with images and frames is even less predictable, but
please try a few times with different images and frames (with me, the problem
occurs after I Cut/Paste an image, save the document and and then Cut/Paste
another image, but sometimes the paste failure occurs upon a third Cut/Paste).

This is hopelessly irritating when you do this sort of work in a production
environment. In my environment I have to do several Cut/Pastes of text as well
as images within the same document.

The issue exists for a while now. Sorry, I can't say when I first saw it. You
live with it, until your frustration drives you write a bug report. Does not
occur with an old LibreOffice 5 running under Windows XP.

If you think it has something to do with the particular document appended to
this bug report, please let me know, I will send you other documents.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.See description above
2.
3.

Actual Results:
See description above

Expected Results:
Copy and/or Paste does not work.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
Attached document. Apparently I can only append the document as an update to
this bug report. Will do that right away.
