------- Additional comments from john...@openoffice.org Tue Nov 30 11:37:17 +0000 2010 ------- Some more debugging results with 3.3 Release candidate 6. I opened an instance of OO Writer and an instance of another application (Notepad or Thunderbird - it happens with both but I think it may happen more often with Thunderbird). I copied Fred in OO to set up the test. All copy/pastes are Ctrl/c or /v I then copied Tom in Notepad, pasted into OO, copied Fred in OO; copied Tom in Notepad, pasted into OO, copied Fred in OO; ... Initially, Tom got pasted, and I repeated this sequence until pasting into OO wrongly pasted Fred. Conclusion. OO has not captured that something new, Tom, has been placed on the Windows clipboard. When I paste into Notepad, Tom gets pasted as expected. I now repeatedly paste into OO >>> Fred is always wrongly pasted. I wait 1 minute, and paste into OO >>> Fred is wrongly pasted. I open a new OO Writer document (File > New > text doc) and paste into the new text document. Fred is wrongly pasted. Conclusion. The new document shares the same "buffer" as the original OO document which is why it wrongly pastes Fred???? I now repeatedly copy Tom from Notepad, paste into OO; copy Tom from Notepad, paste into OO; ... and repeat. Every time I paste into either of the OO documents, Fred wrongly gets pasted. Conclusion. When in the "wrong state" OO does not capture when something new is placed on the Windows clipboard. But, not always! While editing this post (in Firefox), I had left OO running. I copied text in this post to move it. When I returned to OO, and pasted, the text from this post was pasted into OO. Somehow, during a delay of several minutes, OO reset itself. The only way to get OO working properly is to copy something in OO. This usually (90%), but not always, "resets" OO, and OO starts working correctly again. When I close all instances of OO and start a completely new test, the problem typically begins after 5 or 6 copies. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
