I tried to reproduce bug #1852183 with just one writer document, and failed to do so after the mutter update. Maybe I didn't try hard enough, but it didn't re-occur after many trials in one writer document.

However, I have now tested copying between two writer documents, and reproduced the same problem. It took me many cope/cut and pastes (well over 20) until it started to happen, and then it started to happen quite frequently, say 1 in 3 or 4.

It seems from several reports that this is a slippery problem, affecting different users in slightly different ways. To me that implies there could be timing and/or load issues affecting the process. However, I am but a simple user, long past my techie days.

I don't understand how the previous report can have been marked as fixed, since Adam Dingle had already said it didn't fully fix the problem. No matter. The bug still exists.
