Description ValdikSS 2025-02-14 16:42:39 UTC
Copy-pasting non-latin from Firefox/Thunderbird to LibreOffice resulting in \u0000 notation.
This happens only on Linux+Wayland (not X11), started to happen after updating Fedora 41 to KDE Plasma 6.3.

Cross-bug in Libreoffice: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=165238

Patch:
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/181672

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open any webpage with Cyrillic, Greek, any non-latin text in Firefox (or in Thunderbird)
2. Select and copy the text to clipboard
3. Open Libreoffice Writer, press ctrl+alt+shift+v to paste without formatting. If it's an unformatted text (copied from the text field, address bar, etc, not from the html body itself) regular ctrl+v is sufficient.
Actual Results:  
Instead of pasting the symbols, \u0000 unicode notation of the symbols are pasted into Libreoffice document.

Expected Results:  
Cyrillic/Greek/etc symbols are pasted
