------- Additional comments from c...@openoffice.org Wed Oct 20 16:46:43 +0000 2010 ------- :-( it turns out that this is one of the things that looks like a small bug from the outside but it is nearly un fixable from the inside. Problem is as follows... The middle mouse button pastes the 'selection clipboard', not the 'clipboard'. There is a technical difference. Only mac and linux support the 'selection clipboard' across different applications. On windows there is no such thing so we only know about selections inside office applications (this means in windows if you select something in firefox and then press middle mouse button inside a writer or impress document nothing happens). Now, to enable inserting text in a shape while doing middle mouse button I have to get that shape into edit mode first. while putting the shape into edit mode it is also selected. this action changes the selection clipboard from anything that was previously selected into the shape itself. the result is that even so I go into edit mode,no text is pasted in that shape but the same shape is duplicated. In writer this works because they do not need a selection to paste text in existing text. The only workaround would be to identify the situation (check the clipboard for text and check that there is actually text under the mouse pointer and then copy the text from clipboard and then enter text edit mode and insert copied shape). At this point it is not a small fix any longer but a lot of work. yikes --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
