I'm affected by this in LibreOffice 3.4.3 (OOO340m1 Build:302) on Ubuntu 11.04 64-bit. As mentioned above, the behaviour is inconsistent.
I was working in Writer when this started to occur. Then I tried the following steps: (1) Close all Writer windows. (2) Open a new blank document in Writer. (3) Open gedit and write some text, select it and invoke Copy command. (4) In Writer invoke the Paste command which works as expected. (5) In Writer invoke the Paste Special command (either via the File menu using the shortcut) - nothing happens. But after I tried the same steps a few more times the Paste Special command came back to normal. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/554183 Title: paste special does not work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/openoffice/+bug/554183/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
