FailToPasteColumnBugB1.ods test data

Reproduction procedure:
test1
FailToPasteColumnBugB1.ods
1. select column A by clicking column header "A"
2. ctrl+C to copy
   by this, whole column A will be blue
3. click column header B
   by this, whole column B will be blue
4. shift+click column Y
   by this, whole columns B:Y will be blue
5. ctrl+V to paste
   -> result: problem: nothing pasted

test2
1. re-open file. repeat test1.1-3
4. now shift+click column X
   by this, whole columns B:X will be blue
   -> result: correctly pasted. content of column A repeatedly filled into each
column of B:X

Reproducibility: 100% at any file.
  Don't even need to re-open file. Can retry procedure by Undo (ctrl+Z).

Notes:
* copy-pasting rows has no such problem, at least for 100 rows.
* copy-pasting individual cells or a finite range of cells have no such
problem.
* Excel2000 does correctly paste, at least over 100 columns (tested with range
B:EZ).
* When you drag-selecting the paste range, the paste works correctly for a
broader range.
  But I need chift-click style range selection when I want to paste into say
500 columns,
  because drag-selecting a range of 500 columns is too cumbersome and prone of
mis-operation.

The most puzzling (worrying) thing is the rationale behind this magic number.
Why 23?
