This is greatly impacting my users as well. Here is a simple way to observe:

1. Open Writer (or Calc) and Windows Notepad. Position the two windows so you
can see them both onscreen.
2. Type the word "test" in Notepad and select it.
3. Press Ctrl+C in Notepad.
4. Notice that the Paste toolbar button in Writer (or Calc) becomes enabled.
5. Repeat pressing Ctrl+C in Notepad several times with a 1 second delay
between each press while observing Writer (or Calc) toolbar.
6. A large percentage of the time the Paste button becomes disabled. This is
incorrect because the clipboard does contain the data.

Usually Ctrl+V works correctly to paste the data even though the toolbar button
does not indicate that paste is possible. Unfortunately, even this workaround
fails often enough to be problematic.

Toggling the Windows 10 clipboard manager (Settings > Clipboard > Clipboard
history) does not help.

The problem is not limited to Writer, I've seen it also in Calc.

The problem even occurs in the current latest RC (7.1.0.2).

Sounds like dupe of bug 116983.

The problem is severe for users whose workload involves a lot of copying and
pasting data from other applications. It is worst for those users who are
uncomfortable with keyboard shortcuts.

Version: 7.1.0.2 (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 53d68d29d90fd16448721a60aad68c28ff0809f5
CPU threads: 12; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19041; UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win
