Yes, I do have openOffice, but wouldn't removing it for such issue be at least 
doubtful? Are there other problems that may occur having both installations?

I tried to do the same operation in:

1. openOffice Calc 3.3.0

No problems with pasting data from multiple diverse cells (in same column/row) 
in regular text editor. Clipboard data seems same like LibreCalc - some star 
office XML format and various others format objects 

2. Corel Calculate (from Home Office) 5.0.38

Can't do Ctrl+select then copy at all (I had it handy so thought to try it)

3. MS Excel 2010

No problems with cells in same row/columns. Clipboard data is available in even 
more formats - worth mentioning XML spreadsheet and CSV


Finally, it seems interesting to me that this spreadsheet programs can do 
copy/paste when cells aren't in same column/row. At least I expected Excel to 
do it, but it can't

And it seems that problem is not in intolerance between openOffice and 
LibreOffice in same OS, like Stefan replied with same observation
