What I've seen is that if you mark some text, and then just middle click somewhere in the same document. it will gracefully paste the text there. BUT: as soon as you un-select that text again, for example by left-clicking in the document to place the cursor to the desired location for insertion, nothing will be pasted. So it seems that the middle mouse button paste feature is bound to the text actually being selected in writer. Yes, absolutely. The text to be pasted needs to be highlighted the instant you click middle mouse.
Well, that's not necessarily so. Actually, the usual behavior is that the text will stay in the X11 clipboard until some other text is selected. Simply placing the cursor somewhere else would un-select the text, but keep the clipboard populated. This is for example the way Kwrite behaves. In my eyes this makes Libreoffice's X11 clipboard handling a little non-standard, and actually similar to how MS Excel interacts with the Windows clipboard in respect to copying cells. -- Cahn's Axiom: When all else fails, read the instructions. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
