Note that a selection's content is not stored in the clipboard (unless LibreOffice is exited) but upon pasting the target asks for the available formats and picks the best offered, that in this case should be the internal Calc format, which then would be transferred from source to target, but somehow here instead it gets a bitmap/image from the clipboard "manager" (apparently).

So what would that "doing something strange" be? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1852183 Title: [X11] copy/paste (clipboard) is broken in Ubuntu 19.10 Status in LibreOffice: Confirmed Status in Mutter: New Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in mutter package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in libreoffice source package in Eoan: Triaged Status in mutter source package in Eoan: Triaged Bug description: I'm running LibreOffice 6.3.2.2 on Ubuntu 19.10. In this environment, copy/cut/paste often fails. Specifically, the paste command sometimes does not paste the text that was cut/copied most recently. Instead, it pastes text that was cut/copied at some prior time. I use LibreOffice Writer a lot, and I now see this problem very often, i.e. many times every day. There is some discussion of the problem here: https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/213510/copypaste-issues- libreoffice-calc/ Several posters there say that they are also using Ubuntu 19.10. Ubuntu 19.10 includes Mutter 3.34, which has a new clipboard manager: https://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=GNOME-3.34 -Clipboard-Manager It seems like that could be related.
