My instructions for <a href="show_bug.cgi?id=125785#c3">comment 3</a> are incorrect (apologies). I just followed the <a href="show_bug.cgi?id=125785#c3">comment 3</a> instructions as stated and no such anomaly appears. That's also what I did earlier with my wife's Mac. The problem is in step #2: Right-click followed by "copy image" does allow the paste operation to work. True. However, I am using the Xfce4 Screenshot application (xfce4-screenshooter 1.8.2-2) to first copy the image to the clipboard; that fails as I described. Why am I using a screenshot application you might ask? Answer: In on-line courses that I take, there are times when I pause the video to take a screenshot of a region of the video window to copy and paste into the lecture transcript (E.g. a formula, an image of a rock formation). In a nutshell: Both operations copy to the clipboard but Xfce4 Screenshot with large-ish PNG images cause libreoffice to fail on the subsequent paste. Something is going wrong in the clipboard. It might be a corrupted clipboard image or it might be libreoffice failing on a boundary condition (?). Could someone please try what I am doing in Windows AND in another Linux distro? * Open the libreoffice Writer document in <a href="show_bug.cgi?id=125785#c4">comment 4</a>. * In your favorite browser, go to URL <a href="https://www.coursera.org/specializations/gis-mapping-spatial-analysis">https://www.coursera.org/specializations/gis-mapping-spatial-analysis</a> * Launch/invoke your OS screenshot application/widget/whatever. * Snapshot the region of the whole image (3 people) on the right. * Save the snapshot to the clipboard (not as a user disk file). * Switch to the Libreoffice Writer window. * Paste the clipboard contents into the open document. Thank you very much.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
