--- Comment #7 from Richard Elkins <richard.elkins at gmail.com> ---
First of all, I neglected to state earlier than I am using Xubuntu and the
Xfce4 desktop (Gnome-ish, GTK-based, but different).

My instructions for comment 3 are incorrect (apologies).  I just followed the
comment 3 instructions as stated and no such anomaly appears.  That's also what
I did earlier with my wife's Mac.

The problem is in step #2:  Right-click followed by "copy image" does allow the
paste operation to work.  True.  However, I am using the Xfce4 Screenshot
application (xfce4-screenshooter 1.8.2-2) to first copy the image to the
clipboard; that fails as I described.

Why am I using a screenshot application you might ask?

Answer: In on-line courses that I take, there are times when I pause the video
to take a screenshot of a region of the video window to copy and paste into the
lecture transcript (E.g. a formula, an image of a rock formation).

In a nutshell: Both operations copy to the clipboard but Xfce4 Screenshot with
large-ish PNG images cause libreoffice to fail on the subsequent paste. 
Something is going wrong in the clipboard.  It might be a corrupted clipboard
image or it might be libreoffice failing on a boundary condition (?).

Could someone please try what I am doing in Windows AND in another Linux
distro?
* Open the libreoffice Writer document in comment 4.
* In your favorite browser, go to URL
https://www.coursera.org/specializations/gis-mapping-spatial-analysis
* Launch/invoke your OS screenshot application/widget/whatever.
* Snapshot the region of the whole image (3 people) on the right.
* Save the snapshot to the clipboard (not as a user disk file).
* Switch to the Libreoffice Writer window.
* Paste the clipboard contents into the open document.

Thank you very much.
