Thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner.
Ubuntu 10.10 (maverick) reached end-of-life on April 10, 2012. Ubuntu 10.04 (lucid) reached end-of-life on May 9, 2013. This issue may well have been fixed sometime during the 12+ years since it was reported but as OpenOffice is no longer part of the Ubuntu distribution I'm closing this as 'Invalid'. FWIW, I can copy from GVim 8.2 and paste into LibreOffice Writer 7.3 (in Ubuntu 22.04). ** Changed in: vim (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to vim in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/617841 Title: Gvim 7.2 paste into OpenOffice 3.2.0 fails Status in vim package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: vim Copying something from Gvim, either using the X clipboard or the menu commands, and then pasting it into OpenOffice, fails with the error "Requested clipboard format is not available". This behavior also happens with other programs such as Lotus Notes. As a workaround, using Paste Special and selecting plain text format (not HTML) will successfully paste the text. Alternatively, setting the following option in vim/vimrc prior to copying will also work: :set cb=autoselect,html,exclude:cons\|linux This bug was introduced in vim 7.2.201 and corrected in 7.2.442 (see http://ftp.vim.org/pub/vim/patches/7.2/README) Given the LTS status of Ubuntu 10.04 this fix should be trickled down to it since it affects basic functionality of Gvim.
