copy and paste not working properly

[Tim Passingham]

In 20.04 cut/copy and paste does not work reliably in Writer.

This has been reported in bugzilla, but seems to only affect ubuntu 20.04.

See https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=133029

One report included a video.

My report there said:

I copy and paste, and get the previous copy, not the latest one. Sometimes the last line gets duplicated in a very peculiar way, such that if I edit it the duplicate gets edited as well. It is very strange.

I'm using Version: 6.4.3.2
Build ID: 1:6.4.3-0ubuntu0.20.04.1
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.4; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3;
Locale: en-GB (en_GB.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-GB
Calc: threaded

And have also tried the pre-release of 6.4.4.

This is using the ubuntu ppa versions. It's really quite a serious problem for anyone using Writer (and maybe other modules).
