LibreOffice Writer: broken pasting and ctrl+arrow navigation #584

Open peci1 opened 5 years ago

peci1 commented 5 years ago

Describe the bug In LibreOffice Writer 6, I copy a piece of text, then try to paste it, and nothing happes. If I choose "paste as plaintext" (from Ctrl+Shift+V menu), the copied text is pasted. Also, when I try to paste text copied from another app, it works. So the only problem is copy&paste from and to Writer. When you copy from Writer and paste into Calc, the value pastes, but as "weird" textbox that has a lot of the Writer UI with it (that might be the culprit?).

Another thing that's broken in LO is skipping words by Ctrl+left/right. The cursor just stays still. However, e.g. Ctrl+Shift+Left/right works (for selecting words).

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Run Shapeshifter
  2. Run LibreOffice Writer
  3. Write some text
  4. Copy a piece of the text
  5. Try to paste it elswhere in the document
  6. Nothing happes.

Expected behavior The text is pasted.

Shapeshifter is currently quite dormant unfortunately. I'm the sole maintainer, doing this for fun, and I have many other open source projects of my making to attend to.

If you'd like to show your support and potentially accelerate the fix of this issue, consider becoming a sponsor on Patreon. That way, you don't actually pay anything unless major updates arrive. And I don't expect them to arrive until quite some time, but if enough people become sponsors, I'll probably start doing this as my main project.

I hope you understand!
