            Bug ID: 132151
           Summary: Problem in Cutting/Copying Right-to-left texts
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.4.2.2 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

Description:
When I deal with Arabic texts or even any right-to-left language and I want to
copy or cut a certain amount of text, I need to press copy several times in
order for the text to be copied to my clipboard.
This happens after the second time I copy or cut a text.
first and second times after I launch any Libreoffice program (writer, calc,
impress, etc.), I can copy or cut text without any issue.
this bug starts after I copy or cut for the third time.
I have discovered that if I have elements in my clipboard, I also need to press
copy or cut several times.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a document in any right-to-left language (Arabic in my case)
2. try to copy a text from it and paste it, this will work very few times (only
2 in my case)
3. try to copy and paste another text and here where the bug will appear

ps. This problem appears even if I tried to copy from Libreoffice to another
application like GEdit or Web Browser but NOT vice versa.
I can copy/cut and paste normally any RTL text from any other program.

Actual Results:
if I succeeded in (#2), when I tried to apply (#3) the results from the paste
operation are the same text that I cahad copied in (#2)

Expected Results:
copy, cut and paste normally, like it does with any English or even any
left-to-right text.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes
