Description stokestack 2024-04-25 01:14:23 UTC
Description:
Not sure what the critical factor is, but attempting to paste text from some PDFs does nothing in writer... although it can be pasted into other applications.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start a Writer document.
2. Copy some body text from https://www.coralrestoration.org/_files/ugd/60a969_0d6d400dd3264652bc74b25c1de38e46.pdf
3. Try to paste it into the document.

Actual Results:
Nothing happens, although Paste is enabled and I can paste the text into other applications (like TextMate).

Expected Results:
The text is pasted.


Reproducible: Always
