Cannot save file

#1

Good afternoon
Another incomprehensible behavior arose.

I open a new document, copy text from a text file and try to save the document as .odt.
Yet, nothing happens.
I tried to save the document in different locations, but that does not change anything.
Creating a document in the same way in Word (which I rarely use) causes no problems.

How can I fix this very annoying behavior.
Thank you
Thomas

Just guessing, Thomas, but I suspect the first questions the experts
will ask you next is: What LO version are you using on what operating
system.
you will find it under Help > AboutLibreOffice and click Version
Information and paste that to a mail. That way you might pre-empt the
experts' question and speed things up a bit.

Sorry, I was sort of "carried away".

Have you tried?...

<CTRL><V>

[Right click][Left click: Paste Special; Unformatted Text]

Before pasting do <CTRL><A>[Right click][Left click: Clear Direct Formatting]

Is it possible that the source file has locked text?

Are you able to create and save an empty .odt?

If so, does copying to it after saving empty .odt work?

It may be that Notepad may force a fix in Windows. Found this...

Then I went back to one of the Notepad-windows, and attempted to copy a text string into a Calc cell. WITH success (today).
Now as an extra measurement, I attempted to copy a bit internally and from external, but this time from Edge as test 1 and from Chrome as test 2. WITH success (today).

I have edited this message: to WITH suc.

There are at least two messages from someone/something called "PeoplePerHour"
