confirming, to reproduce:
start open office, hit "show draw functions" in the toolbar on top, insert a
rectangle, select it, hit CTRL+C then CTRL-V and see how the text you added to
glipper most recently (instead of the rectangle) is inserted.
i suppose this is because glipper is unable to handle binary data.
PS: glipper is unmaintained: Bug #255060 , we/ubuntu should look for an
alternative
** Changed in: glipper (Ubuntu)
Status: New => Confirmed
** Summary changed:
- Glipper discards data from unknown applications breaking ordinary cut and
paste for those
+ glipper discards binary data
** Description changed:
- The following bug was reported about xournal, then turned out to be a
- problem with glipper that "eats and discards" selection that it does not
- recognize (at least, it seems).
+ glipper "eats and discards" selection added to the clipboard if it
+ contains binary data, breaking ordinary cut and paste for many
+ applications.
