Bug Description

Test Case:

0) Make sure the locale is ru_RU.UTF-8;
1) Open two empty LibreOffice Writer windows;
2) Enter any word in one of the windows;
3) Right click → Copy;
4) Switch to the other window;
5) Right click → Paste.

This does not work. xclip says that the word is copied correctly (both text/plain and text/html targets are present).

Pasting into the same window does work.

Pasting into the other window with Right click → Paste Special → Unformatted Text also does work.

Starting LibreOffice with LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 also helps.

LibreOffice version: 1:5.2.2-0ubuntu1
Ubuntu version: 16.10

This looks specific to the GTK3 integration plugin. Uninstalling libreoffice-gtk3 and installing libreoffice-gtk2 fixes the issue.
