I have just started having this problem, having updated to 20.04. So far I have only encountered it with libreoffice writer, about 30% of the time I copy/cut and paste (whether by menu or keyboard shortcuts). I do this a lot due to the nature of my writing.
This is the first time since I moved to ubuntu many years ago that I have encountered a bug that causes me to wonder whether to continue with it. It's driving me crazy every hour of every day. To those who are unsure if it is a real problem, there's a video of it happening at https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=133029 It has been said that the vanilla build of libreoffice doesn't have this problem, so I'll have to try that. Until my report #1879078 was marked as a duplicate of this bug I had no idea that it was so common in ubuntu. In my view this is really serious. I my case I am on X11, and the problem affects Libreoffice Version: 6.4.3.2 Build ID: 1:6.4.3-0ubuntu0.20.04.1 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.4; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-GB Calc: threaded ** Bug watch added: Document Foundation Bugzilla #133029 https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=133029 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1852183 Title: [X11] copy/paste (clipboard) with LibreOffice is broken in Ubuntu 19.10 & 20.04 (see comment 93) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/df-libreoffice/+bug/1852183/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
