Agreed, this does seem to be somewhat Ubuntu (and indeed perhaps Mutter) related, and not specific to LibreOffice.
I tried the exact same version of LibreOffice (libreoffice-6.3.3.2-snap1) on Debian Buster and Ubuntu 19.10, and found that while reproducible on Ubuntu, it is not on Debian (see attached screencasts). Ubuntu Mutter Version: 3.34.1-1ubuntu1 Debian Mutter Version: 3.34.1+git20191107-1 ** Attachment added: "1852183.zip" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mutter/+bug/1852183/+attachment/5304794/+files/1852183.zip -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1852183 Title: copy/paste (clipboard) is broken in Ubuntu 19.10 Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I'm running LibreOffice 6.3.2.2 on Ubuntu 19.10. In this environment, copy/cut/paste often fails. Specifically, the paste command sometimes does not paste the text that was cut/copied most recently. Instead, it pastes text that was cut/copied at some prior time. I use LibreOffice Writer a lot, and I now see this problem very often, i.e. many times every day. There is some discussion of the problem here: https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/213510/copypaste-issues- libreoffice-calc/ Several posters there say that they are also using Ubuntu 19.10. Ubuntu 19.10 includes Mutter 3.34, which has a new clipboard manager: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=GNOME-3.34 -Clipboard-Manager It seems like that could be related.
