Description of problem: ======================= Copy & Paste from Firefox 29.0.1 into LibreOffice Writer 4.2.4.2-8.fc20 on Fedora 20 with KDE... Does not really work out of the box. Mark HTML text in Firefox. This being HTML text, I expect the formatting to be pasted, too (within limits). However: - Trying to paste into LibreOffice Writer reveals that the copied data is pure text only. - Previous behaviour (on Fedora 18) was full copying of formatting. - The LibreOffice Writer "Paste Special" option is greyed out (LibreOffice does not know there is formatted text that can be copied?) Try to: - Paste into Thunderbird: Works well! - Paste into Calligra Words: Works well! Try to: - Copy & Paste from Calligra Words into LibreOffice Writer: Works well - Copy & Paste from LibreOffice Writer into LibreOffice Writer: Works well However: - Once a successful Copy & Paste into LibreOffice Writer was done, the "Paste Special" option *becomes ungrayed* and you can select "Paste as HTML", which leads to successful pasting. Still, by default is "paste as text", which may or may not be annoying depending on preferences. In my previous version, it pasted HTML no questions asked. It definitely doesn't match what is in the docs: https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/Paste_Special "When in Writer: When you paste HTML data into a text document, you can choose "HTML format" or "HTML format without comments". The second choice is the default; it pastes all HTML data, but no comments. - I have had the case where the "Paste Special" becamed greyed out again for a new document, although presently it stays on.
This is probably the problem ahunt fixed a little while ago. I'll double check that.
yup, will be good in >= libreoffice-4.2.4.2-18.fc20
