--- Comment #2 from Stéphane Guillou (stragu) <stephane.guillou at libreoffice.org> ---
I don't think this is a bug. If you have three cells that contain:

567
abc
=123

... and you copy and paste those with paste special > Text / Number / Formula,
you will see the different results.

These Paste Special options are more for in-app pastes. See documentation here:

https://help.libreoffice.org/7.6/en-US/text/shared/01/02070000.html

In essence, these are not about pasting *as* something, but they are about
pasting *only* something.

What I can see as potential improvement here:
- naming of those options. Should we use "Text only / Numbers only / Formulas
only" ?
- what should happen when the data comes from an external application? Like
here, should an exclusively numeric string copied from a text editor be pasted
when "Numbers" is selected? Another example: when copying from Gnumeric, with
the same 3 cell contents above, all three options paste nothing.

Copying UX/UI for opinion regarding my two questions above.
