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.

However, this is only a workaround. Of course this is a killing problem for openoffice, that should be resolved ASAP. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

It works for me copying from Thunderbird (which supports mouse_copy) but not copying from Notepad (which does not seem to support mouse_copy). The process is 1 OO is in its funny state where it always pastes Fred no matter how many times I copy Tom from another application 2 Highlight APPLE in Thunderbird (or other high-level application). Drag it with the mouse to OO and drop it in OO APPLE is pasted into OO which is correct. 3 Ctrl/v in OO and Fred is pasted, which is wrong. Note that I still have OO Tools Options OO.org View Middle mouse button set to No Function. I am never therefore using Mouse Select. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

I have been digging, and it appears that it might be a Windows 7 and Vista problem with the clipboard. See http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc749442%28WS.10%29.aspx which says there are several issues with MS Clipboard and offers fixes for it. eg the site says: When the copy or paste operation does not function properly, the fix called EmptyClipboardtoSet fixes applications that call the SetClipboardData(CF_TEXT) function without first emptying the Clipboard. Also, I saw in another post ( http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15t=28669p=151107#p151107 ) that OO apparently does not use the new changed, Clipboard format as below: In short, OpenOffice writer does not generate the correct CF_HTML format to put into the clipboard. According to HTML Clipboard Format (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms649015(VS.85).aspx), the HTML comments !--StartFragment-- and !--EndFragment-- need to be present in the data: The fragment should be preceded and followed by the HTML comments !--StartFragment-- and !--EndFragment-- (no space allowed between the !-- and the text) to conveniently indicate where the fragment starts and ends. Thus the start and end of the fragment are indicated by the presence of these comments and by StartFragment and EndFragment byte counts in the description. Tools are expected to produce this information. This redundancy has been introduced to be able to rapidly find the start of the fragment (from the byte count) and mark the position of the fragment directly in the HTML tree. However, OpenOffice writer does not respect this and produce the HTML format data without the required comments, like the following: Version:1.0 StartHTML:000168 EndHTML:000656 StartFragment:000591 EndFragment:000639 !DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC -//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN HTML HEAD ... /HEAD BODY LANG=en-US DIR=LTR P STYLE=margin-bottom: 0inBFoo/B/P /BODY /HTML - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

When I copy some text from any other application, the contents of the Windows Clipboard are immediately cleared and the copied text immediately appears in the Clipboard. But when I copy some text (ctrl/c or Edit Copy) from an OO document, while the Clipboard is immediately cleared, the copied text does not appear in the Clipboard until several seconds later. During the period that the Clipboard is empty, if I paste into any other application, nothing is pasted (correct - the Clipboard is empty). BUT if I paste into any OO document while the Clipboard is empty, the copied text is pasted. So, OO appears to be holding the copied text in an internal buffer and OO is not pasting it to the Windows Clipboard until a delay of several seconds. This internal buffer may be the reason for the behaviour reported in this bug report, namely OO does not paste the text contents of the Windows clipboard - instead, it pastes the previous text copied in OO I am now running OOO320m18 Build:9502 - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

The delay only occurs if clipbrd.exe is started before OO. If OO is started before clipbrd.exe, the delay does not occur. Please note that the original problem of OO pasting the previous contents occurs when clipbrd.exe is not running. I only use clipbrd.exe to assist debugging. This delay with Clipboard viewers appears to be well known. Searching on 'copy paste delay' finds a number of issues including 49907. Note that the user does not need to be running a Clipboard viewer to experience the delays because some applications apparently silently monitor the Clipboard without telling the user (by calls the MS API function called SetClipboardViewer().) - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.

Essentially, I copy, say, Fred from an OO application. I then copy, say Tom from a non-OO application. The Windows clipboard is shown to contain Tom. BUT when I paste into any OO application, Fred gets pasted, not Tom!! I can stop this incorrect behaviour by copying anything else, say Harry, from any OO application, and now Harry is correctly pasted into all OO applications. It appears as though OO retains Fred in an internal buffer and uses this internal buffer when pasting instead of getting the correct data from the Windows clipboard. Copying something else from within OO somehow fixes the problem, although it then may reoccur after a few correct copy/pastes. The sequence is as follows: 1 Start MS ClipBook Viewer to allow the contents of the Windows clipboard to be viewed 2 Copy the text Fred from an OO document (or spreadsheet or presentation) - note it appears as fred in ClipBoard Viewer 3 Paste it to anywhere (OO, other application) - it pastes as Fred 4 Go to another application (Notepad, Firefox, Thunderbird etc) and copy Tom - note it appears as Tom in ClipBoard Viewer 5 Paste (Ctrl/v or Edit Paste) to anywhere - Tom gets pasted 6 Paste (Ctrl/V or Edit Paste) to Writer or Calc or Impress and Fred gets pasted. This is obviously wrong. 7 Repeat pasting to Writer or Calc or Impress and Fred is repeatedly pasted although ClipBoard Viewer clearly shows the MS clipboard contains Tom, and Tom gets pasted into any non-OO application. 8 This incorrect behaviour may be terminated by copying anything from any OO application - eg copy Harry. ClipBoard Viewer now shows Harry and paste pastes Harry into all OO applications. 9 Note that the Windows clipboard always contains the correct data. The problem is that OO does not gather the data it pastes from the Windows clipboard - it seems to gather it from somewhere else, probably an internal OO buffer. Other factors 1 I am running Window Home Premium 64 bit on an HP p6203UK Pentium Dual Core E5300 @2.6GHz, 4GB. Other users have reported it with XP 2 I only see the problem with OO suggesting it is an OO API problem 3 Several other users have posted to various forums saying they have the same problem 4 I posted a bug report to Writer Paste from clipboard pastes the previous contents of the clipboard Issue 110217 but it is not being worked on as the developers cannot reproduce the problem. 5 There is quite a lot of information on the web about similar failures with Clipboard - this Mozilla forum entry seems to be the same problem and seems to have been analysed as a race problem. http://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=88161. 6 This is happening about 1 in 5 of my copy/pastes into OO. When it starts to happen, it repeats itself frequently. 7 I do not have Selection Clipboard enabled in OO (so I cannot be inadvertently doing anything by mouse select) 8 I have uninstalled and reinstalled OO and it still happens. - Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
