------- Additional comments from john...@openoffice.org Thu Mar 18 11:14:30 +0000 2010 ------- I am running OOO320m12 under Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit version. When I paste into an OO Writer document the previous contents of the clipboard are often pasted, instead of the current contents. It is intermittent, but the following often reproduces it: 1 Start Writer and create a new empty Writer document. Write the word DOG in it 2 Create a new Notepad document. Write the word CAT in it 3 Copy DOG in the Writer document with ctrl/c. Paste the clipboard contents into the Writer document with ctrl/v - it pastes OK and DOG appears. 4 Change focus to Notepad and paste the contents of the clipboard into Notepad with ctrl/v. It pastes OK and DOG appears. 5 Now copy CAT from the Notepad document with ctrl/c. Paste it in Notepad with ctrl/v. It pastes OK and CAT appears, showing the clipboard now contains CAT as expected. Now comes the problem 6 Change focus to the Writer document and press ctrl/v to paste the contents of the clipboard to the Writer document. I expect to see CAT appear, but DOG (the word previously copied in Writer) appears instead. Repeated ctrl/v keeps pasting DOG in the Writer document. This is wrong. 7 Change focus back to Notepad and press ctrl/v. The word CAT appears as expected - the last time I copied anything, I copied CAT. This is OK. The clipboard always seems to have the correct contents, because it pastes correctly into Notepad. But when I paste into Writer, Writer seems to pick up the previous contents of the clipboard. Could it be that Writer is not clearing a buffer from its previous copy? Other points: 1 It is intermittent - sometimes it works properly, sometimes it doesn't. 2 It can also happen when copying between two Writer documents. 3 It can also happen if the first item copied (DOG in 1 above) is an image. 4 I do not have Selection Clipboard enabled in OO 5 I have uninstalled and reinstalled OO and it still happens. Should I remove all my profile stuff as well and do a fresh install? 6 I never saw the problem in XP - it has only appeared since changing to Windows 7. I do not recall which version of OO I was running in XP but it was fully updated when my XP PC died in Nov 2009. 7 I first reported it as http://www.oooforum.org/forum/viewtopic.phtml?t=95978&highlight= and got very few comments. I first noticed it with a Master document but later testing proved that the fault occurs with a standard odt file without a Master document being open. 8 It also happens as reported if I use EDIT > COPY and EDIT > PASTE instead of ctrl/c and ctrl/v 9 I have only noticed the error when I am pasting into Writer. It does not happen when pasting into other applications. It does happen when I copy from other applications like Thunderbird. This does suggest it is Writer causing the problem. I cannot understand why I am getting it and no-one else seems to be getting it! My Windows 7 is a standard installation. I have two users defined on the PC. It would not surprise me if it was something in Windows 7 causing the problem - perhaps the implementation of Clipboard has changed in W7 and OO is not picking it up properly. I am happy to provide files and run suggested diagnostic tests. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
