This bug is still happening .. it really does render this whole package unworkable .. its equivalent to the computer not working at all. At least that way you know your data isn't being corrupted. I'm appalled at the cavalier attitude this bug is being treated... other end itus ... I agree more and more it appears to be an OS issue yet it appears when only using word .. as well as outside word.
Either way some heads need to get together and fix the bug. It used to be when a critical bug like this was encountered then the part at fault was removed.. the bug fixed offline and then tested back in. It seems the modern approach is the old micorshaft approach of let the users test and fix the bug. If its NOT this then the people here should be putting pressure on those whose area it is .. reporting bugs is difficult enough without constantly being shunted around saying its somewhere else you report it .. (only to find you have to install software to prove the bug was happening .. er.. it was happening before I had to install mutter). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to mutter in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1879968 Title: copy/paste still sometimes fails in LibreOffice on mutter 3.36.2 Status in Mutter: New Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: In Ubuntu 19.10 and 20.04 there was a bug that caused copy and paste operations to fail pretty often: the text that was pasted was not the text that was just copied. See the long discussion at bug #1852183. The bug was recently marked closed, since the package mutter - 3.36.2-1ubuntu1~20.04.1 landed in focal-updates and makes the bug occur much less frequently. Unfortunately the bug still exists, and is not difficult to reproduce. I am running Ubuntu 20.04 and have the new 3.36.2-1ubuntu1~20.04.1 version of mutter. I just opened two LibreOffice Writer windows side by side, and repeatedly selected some text in the left window, copied it, then attempted to paste it into the right window. In my experiment, approximately 1 in every 20 paste operations failed: it did not paste the text that was just copied, but instead the text that was copied before that. Now, an error rate of 1 in 20 may not seem so bad. On the other hand, if you spend all day writing a document and copy and paste dozens of times during the day, then you may hit this bug multiple times per day (as I have been recently), which is a significant annoyance. I tested in LibreOffice since that is where I have seen the bug most often, but I have also seen it occur in other applications as well.
