[upstream] Can't paste contents from clipboard copied from LibreOffice once it is closed

[Wise Melon]

I have found recently that if I copy some text for example from any of the LibreOffice programs, that if I then paste it into another program outside of that suite then it pastes it fine. But if I then close LibreOffice then trying to paste the text does nothing, so closing LibreOffice also gets rid of the contents in the clipboard from it which is not ideal.

I am running Ubuntu GNOME 16.04.1 with GNOME 3.20 and LibreOffice version "5.1.4.2 10m0(Build:2)".

I am running Ubuntu GNOME 16.04.1 with GNOME 3.20 and LibreOffice version "5.1.4.2 10m0(Build:2)" (the latest version available from the official Ubuntu repositories).

I initially reported this issue here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1619814 However I thought I should also do so upstream.

Hello cooks.go.hungry, *,
I can confirm your bug with

OS: Debian Testing AMD64
DE/DM: XFCE 4.12

but back to
OOo: 3.2.0
OOO320m12 (Build:9483)
(parallel installed, following the instructions from https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Installing_in_parallel/Linux)

As this is the earliest version I have installed and with which I can reproduce your bug, I am setting version to "Inherited From OOo" and status to "NEW". Interestingly, copying text from Iceweasel / Firefox-esr does not clear the clipboard ... ;)
HTH
Thomas.

I had a similar bug, however, mine was when I tried copying from one instance, closing it and pasting to another instance. Causing libreoffice to crash.

If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
