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.

PS: glipper is unmaintained: Bug #255060 , we/ubuntu should look for an alternative
