Bug ID: 147154
Summary: The Paste Special dialog is empty if the clipboard has
PDF, which *can* be pasted (now) into Impress at least
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: t...@iki.fi
Description:
Since a few days, in master it is possible to paste PDF from the clipboard into
Impress at least.
If you have application/pdf (and nothing else) on the clipboard, Control-V in
an Impress document pastes the rendering of the PDF snippet into the document,
and the PDF document that was on the clipboard is also included in the Impress
document at least if saved as .odp, in addition to the PNG rendering of it.
However, the Edit > Paste Special > Paste Special... dialog is completely empty
even Edit > Paste pastes the PDF. This is misleading.
Steps to Reproduce:
(On Linux, to make this easier to check)
1. Put a PDF document onto the clipboard. How to do this apparently depend on
what distro you are running and whether using Wayland or not. For me, the
command I used was:
wl-copy --type application/pdf <foo.pdf
2. Start a master build of LibreOffice Impress. Do Edit > Paste (or Control-V).
You get the PDF file, rendered as a bitmap.
3. Do Edit > Paste Special > Paste Special... . Nothing is listed.
Actual Results:
Nothing is listed.
Expected Results:
The Paste Special dialog should say "PDF" or "Portable Document Format".
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
