------- Additional comments from john...@openoffice.org Thu Jul 15 17:52:41 +0000 2010 ------- This is a frequent, but intermittent problem which occurs with Writer, Calc and Impress, so I have posted it to API as it appears to be an API problem. Essentially, I copy, say, "Fred" from an OO application. I then copy, say "Tom" from a non-OO application. The Windows clipboard is shown to contain "Tom". BUT when I paste into any OO application, "Fred" gets pasted, not "Tom"!! I can stop this incorrect behaviour by copying anything else, say "Harry", from any OO application, and now "Harry" is correctly pasted into all OO applications. It appears as though OO retains "Fred" in an internal buffer and uses this internal buffer when pasting instead of getting the correct data from the Windows clipboard. Copying something else from within OO somehow fixes the problem, although it then may reoccur after a few correct copy/pastes. The sequence is as follows: 1 Start MS ClipBook Viewer to allow the contents of the Windows clipboard to be viewed 2 Copy the text "Fred" from an OO document (or spreadsheet or presentation) - note it appears as "fred" in ClipBoard Viewer 3 Paste it to anywhere (OO, other application) - it pastes as "Fred" 4 Go to another application (Notepad, Firefox, Thunderbird etc) and copy "Tom" - note it appears as "Tom" in ClipBoard Viewer 5 Paste (Ctrl/v or Edit > Paste) to anywhere - "Tom" gets pasted 6 Paste (Ctrl/V or Edit > Paste) to Writer or Calc or Impress and "Fred" gets pasted. This is obviously wrong. 7 Repeat pasting to Writer or Calc or Impress and "Fred" is repeatedly pasted although ClipBoard Viewer clearly shows the MS clipboard contains "Tom", and "Tom" gets pasted into any non-OO application. 8 This incorrect behaviour may be terminated by copying anything from any OO application - eg copy "Harry". ClipBoard Viewer now shows "Harry" and paste pastes "Harry" into all OO applications. 9 Note that the Windows clipboard always contains the correct data. The problem is that OO does not gather the data it pastes from the Windows clipboard - it seems to gather it from somewhere else, probably an internal OO buffer. Other factors 1 I am running Window Home Premium 64 bit on an HP p6203UK Pentium Dual Core E5300 @2.6GHz, 4GB. Other users have reported it with XP 2 I only see the problem with OO suggesting it is an OO API problem 3 Several other users have posted to various forums saying they have the same problem 4 I posted a bug report to Writer "Paste from clipboard pastes the previous contents of the clipboard" Issue 110217 but it is not being worked on as the developers cannot reproduce the problem. 5 There is quite a lot of information on the web about similar failures with Clipboard - this Mozilla forum entry seems to be the same problem and seems to have been analysed as a race problem. http://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=88161. 6 This is happening about 1 in 5 of my copy/pastes into OO. When it starts to happen, it repeats itself frequently. 7 I do not have Selection Clipboard enabled in OO (so I cannot be inadvertently doing anything by mouse select) 8 I have uninstalled and reinstalled OO and it still happens. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
