            Bug ID: 131805
           Summary: copy and paste with mouse leaves focus on copied text
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.3.5.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: goodguy00 at zoho.com

Description:
within a document, when marking text with mouse and pasting it with
middle-button, the focus stays on the marked source text. this is in contrast
to all editors i know, where the focus/cursor is placed after the pasted text.
consequence: when pasting and continuing to type, the highligted source text
gets erased and new text is entered there. yes, it can be undone with ctrl-z,
but the behavior is highly confusing and inconsistent with other ui
experiences.
i fell about a hundred times into this trap, which always distorts my text
flow, so i though i give it a try here.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. mark text with mouse
2. paste text in same document somewhere
3. immediately type something

Actual Results:
source (marked text) gets erased. focus is in wrong/inconsistent place. highly
confusing.

Expected Results:
focus/cursor should be placed after the pasted text. this would be consistent
with experience in other editors.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Additional Info:
well, this behavior is present in all versions of libreoffice writer. it seemes
to have been there for a long time ...
