Bug ID: 144884
Summary: Sudden Change in Basic Ability to Copy & Paste
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 6.2 all versions
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: rebeccamk...@gmail.com
Description:
To Whom It May Concern:
Beginning just two days ago, I suddenly no longer have the ability to copy what
would be even basic text content, over to a LibreOffice document. Rather than
performing what would seem to be a most basic function, this simple feature
(which previously operated in a satisfactory fashion) has suddenly stopped
working as expected.
In a Senate Committee hearing a few months ago, media servers Google (Google
and YouTube), Facebook (Facebook and Instagram) and Twitter were providing the
Senate Committee with information pertaining to their access, use and
censorship of user content. The hearing was addressing several security and
censorship concerns that users along with government representatives, had
identified as being needful to further investigate, as related to accessing and
utilizing these platforms.
Does LibreOffice provide cooperative action with any of these organizations, or
independently, in such a way that would contribute to the compromise of
LibreOffice user privacy, LibreOffice application functionality, or any form of
censorship mechanisms (or accommodation thereof)?
This sudden problem with the basic functionality of my LibreOffice - which I
had previously been very pleased with - is certainly a matter of great concern
to me, as normal tasks and functions which would be common, and general
purposes for which I might utilize LibreOffice, no longer seem to be functional
for me.
Further, when choosing to use any application or platform, this is done with a
reasonable level of trust in the integrity of a company and all operators, and
in the appropriateness of decisions being made by such; in order to ensure that
my privacy as a user is maintained, that my rights as a consumer to utilize a
platform or application is without undue and/or inappropriate actions of a
company and/or operators, and that the general use of the application or
service remains operational, and is satisfactorily maintained.
Beyond this greatest concern, there seems to be no reasonable explanation for
there to be a sudden malfunctioning in the operation of this standard feature,
as it is a feature that is common, and not complex.
Is this happening to other users that may similarly be experiencing difficulty?
What trends have been observed by other users, if so?
Thank you very much.
Sincerely,
Rebecca Kiel
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Copy text content.
2. Paste text content.
3.
Actual Results:
When copying and pasting even the most basic text content into a LibreOffice
document, the function is not successful. This is a very recent change.
Previously, I was able to copy and paste anything needed for either my work or
leisure use of LibreOffice, which included (but not limited to) spreadsheets,
complex text with images, and so on.
Expected Results:
When copying and pasting even basic text content, this has not been functioning
appropriately, as would be expected within my normal, previous, everyday use of
LibreOffice.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
"Copied" content should be able to be "pasted" into a LibreOffice document,
without any difficulty.
