Here is my report: A. I did not have any clipboard managers installed in my Debian 13 installation (the problematic one). I verified this through a search in Synaptic which found a number of clipboard managers (such as CopyQ, GPaste, and Diodon), none of which were installed. It occurred to me that installing a clipboard manager might provide a workaround to my problem, and so after all else failed I installed CopyQ. This does in fact provide a partial solution by using the clipboard manager as an intermediary. Here is how CopyQ provides a workaround: - I installed and ran CopyQ. - I opened LibreOffice Calc 26.2.2.2 and copied 1500 rows of data; the data is sent to the clipboard and is recognized by CopyQ (but not by Calc, which insists that the clipboard is empty--all paste options are grayed out). - The 1500 rows of data can then be pasted directly in Calc, but ONLY by using the middle mouse button. None of the other paste functions work. Moreover, the middle mouse button did NOT work before installing CopyQ. -the data can also be pasted by opening CopyQ and clicking on the Activate Item button (when the copied data is selected). All paste functions in Calc then work as expected, and the full 1500 rows can be pasted using CTRl-C or the various paste menus, none of which are grayed out. But this approach involves extra steps, as I have to open CopyQ, and the data from CopyQ is treated as unformatted text, so the Text Input dialog has to be used to format the data. I also tried Diodon, but the middle-mouse-button shortcut did not work; I had to open Diodon and activate the clipped data to paste it back into Calc. CopyQ provides the superior workaround. B. I tried all of your listed approaches to copying the data. None of them worked (when the number of rows exceeds 1212), regardless of the Paste method used. In each case Calc seems to think that the clipboard is empty, because all of the Paste menus are grayed out. But the clipboard is NOT empty (as demonstrated by my experiment with CopyQ). C. Copying twice did not solve the issue. The Paste menus are still grayed out, none of the the keyboard shortcuts work, and the middle mouse button does not work (unless I install and run CopyQ, as explained above in A). D. Scrolling up and down does not work. It does not seem to be a display issue. Calc seems to think that the clipboard is empty, so it will not activate the paste function. There is nothing to see because nothing was pasted. E. None of the listed paste methods work UNLESS I install and run CopyQ, in which case the middle-mouse-button works (but none of the other paste methods work). Alternatively, as explained above, if I activate the data from within the CopyQ program ALL of the paste methods work, but the data from CopyQ is treated as unformatted text, so the Text Input dialog is activated. As I stated in a previous post, NONE of the above applies when using the EXACT SAME BUILD of LibreOffice in Ubuntu 24.04 (with Xfce/X11 in both cases). Copy and paste works exactly as it should in Ubuntu. Copy and paste also works exactly as it should in my Debian 13.4 installation IF the number of rows does not exceed 1212, or if I use an older version of LibreOffice Calc when the number of rows exceeds 1212. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
