--- Comment #5 from BikeHelmet at gmail.com ---
So I have been digging into it, and it seems almost like LibreOffice doesn't
initialise something required for pasting until later. My workflow involves
opening a document and pasting data into it, and something snags that up.

I happened to leave a spreadsheet open over lunch - before lunch it wasn't
pasting the clipboard contents, and I was getting ready to retype the info.
After lunch it worked fine.

Investigation: I opened a new document and tried to paste some text (CF_TEXT,
CF_UNICODETEXT), some gmail HTML (HTML Format), paste special, etc. -
absolutely nothing. Then I waited. And waited. After about 5 minutes, a green
progress bar appeared at the bottom of the window and flashed by, and suddenly
pasting worked again. It closely resembled the Save progress bar, which made me
wonder if I just witnessed it autosaving.

So to test that, I opened another spreadsheet and made some changes and told it
to save... no green progress bar. No save. I tried the menu, Ctrl+S hotkey,
etc. - nothing happened despite the spreadsheet having been modified. Then
after a while a green progress bar appeared, the file modified date changed in
explorer, and suddenly I could save at will going forward - and also paste.

So my theory has changed to some component not initialising quickly, timing
out, and blocking both pasting and saving much of the time. A real mystery,
which is strongly tempting me back to 6.4.6

Is there any other info that I can get, or diagnostics/commands to run which
might provide useful info?

Right at this exact moment, when I open new spreadsheets with old ones already
open, they seem to be behaving... though if I reboot, they won't be behaving
properly anymore.
