LibreOffice Calc paste loses formula #14

Closed jlav1n closed 3 years ago

jlav1n commented 6 years ago

If I select a cell or cells in LibreOffice Calc (akin to Excel), and Ctrl-C to copy them, it prepares them for pasting, and the normal behavior is to copy the formula from the cell(s).

When pasting with Ctrl-V, I only get the copied cell text, no formula.

After closing Parcellite and doing the copy/paste again, I get the formula when pasting.

Is there any way to avoid the interaction problem here? Maybe exclude an application from Parcellite somehow?

Libre/open office is a odd bit. Unfortunately, parcellite just monitors the clipboard(s). It has no idea who did what as regards the content - it just monitors changes. Short answer - none that I know of.

And just for the record, I find Libre Office pretty frustrating to use as well. It's like it has it's own clipboard. MuPdf has similar issues.
