<pre>Description:
It's a little mind-boggling to me that this bug hasn't been filed yet, but I
couldn't find it, so here it is.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a new Excel spreadsheet
2. Type 1, Enter, 2, Enter, 3, Enter
3. Copy those three cells to the clipboard
4. Ensure you can paste them in a regular text editor
5. Create a new Calc spreadsheet
6. Attempt to paste the cells *as text*. Paste Only -> Text / Number / Formula
do nothing.
Actual Results:
Paste, and notice you've pasted an image.
Expected Results:
Text
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No - I've just installed LibreOffice.
Additional Info:
This is critical in migrating from Excel, because simply importing XLSM files
brings a lot of cruft that slows down the sheet by an order of magnitude - See
