Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 96580
Writer cannot export the text clipboard properly
Last modified: 2008-12-03 10:37:46 UTC
Clipboard copying from Writer is difficult; the application stops for a second during a simple text copy while operating on the .doc document (created in Microsoft Office XP). It is corrupting the system clipboard, and pasting the copied text into any application requires at least few times of trying. Seems like - somehow - Oo Writer is slowing down the system by filling the clipboard. This is extremely painful.
Not a P1. Please describe step by step what you are pasting from where to where. Add all sample document needed.
Well, it works like that with ANY document for me. Even the simple one-sentence file. :)
Such things may be insisted by a corrupted config. Please exit OOo, delete folder "c:\documents and settings\[user]\Application data\openoffice.org3". restart OOo and try again... does this help?
Same story after deleting the prefs file, I am afraid. I've had preferences directory left from my OpenOffice2, but I have deleted all reminiscences - still nothing.
Strange behavior. Try to shut down every tools (Desktop enhancer, Antivirus, etc) running in the background and try to find out what causes this. This is not reproducible.
Feel free to reopen if you have further findings.
