--- Comment #3 from Jim Avera <jim.avera at gmail.com> ---
Another symptom is that formats are not encoded correctly when entire rows are
copied.  For example, a "Text" cell containing "(415)" will copy correctly into
Google Docs if a subset of cells is copy-pasted; but if the entire row is
pasted, it comes in a -415, i.e. a negative number.   

In my test, the receiving cell has "Text" format in Google Docs so this should
not happen, so possibly LO is (wrongly) marking the cell explicitly as numeric
when copying entire rows.

Also: If a subset of cells in a row are selected and then copy-pasted, there is
no bug.  Then, if the previously-unselected cells are added to the selection
using Control-click, then another copy-paste is done, the problem re-appears. 
Therefore it looks like "entire rowness" is triggering the problem, or making
LO encode the copied cells differently than if only some cells are copied.
