I see a lot of comments about Libre and just wanted to add that it is not an office issue.
This is for sure a copy issue. It just brings a lot of comments about office stuff because there is text being copied and pasted. Truth is the copy function only seems to work every other time after the first time. You can copy some text, paste it, copy some more, and when you paste it will be the first text again. Go back copy new text again, paste it and it is the new text, repeat... In some desktop environments it pastes nothing at all instead of a duplicate. I am guessing this is because some DE's empty the clipboard after a paste instead of holding until overwritten? Pressing Ctrl+C twice every time will allow pasting of the text. It's the copy function that's not working. I am fuzzy about why it does not effect everything. But in my case I noticed this issue while trying to copy text from a PDF in Master PDF Editor and also Foxit Reader and paste to anything else. Text editor, browser, Libre Calc, etc. I tested from the Ubuntu Budgie 2020-03-02 Daily build of 20.04 and the issue is still present. I also think it is worth mentioning that I tested from Ubuntu Mate 19.10 and the problem isn't present. I hope that helps. -- 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: [X11] copy/paste (clipboard) is broken in Ubuntu 19.10 Status in LibreOffice: Confirmed Status in Mutter: Fix Released Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in libreoffice source package in Eoan: Triaged Status in mutter source package in Eoan: Triaged Status in libreoffice source package in Focal: Triaged Status in mutter source package in Focal: Fix Released 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.
