Possible Bug in 4.2.0.4 Copy Paste in Firefox ESR 24.3ESR

Hi all,

I think I may have found a bug/strange combo with the release 4.2.0.4. I
have some users of LO that are unable to copy/paste text into Gmail emails.
They can copy paste into Firefox search bars and url bars just fine, but
nothing gets copy/pasted in an email in Firefox. I've cleared the cache,
reinstalled Firefox and restarted the 4.2 computers multiple times and
nothing has fixed this issue.

I've tried copy pasting from LO to Gmail open in IE 11 and Chrome
32.XXX.107 and they work, but only in Firefox does this function fail. I've
made sure the documents are editable and I'm sure it's not an issue of
PEBKAC. I've reproduced this bug on my own machine as well (which shares
the same Windows 7 image as the rest of our company).

Downgrading to LO 4.1 fixes this issue. Am I missing something or can
anyone else confirm this on 4.2?

Just so you know, we're running:

Windows 7 SP1 Pro (x64) w/ the latest patches

Java 7 u51

Flash 12.0.44

Firefox 24.3 ESR

Let me know if you need more info.

Hi :slight_smile:
Wow!! That looks perfect for a bug-report
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport
Versions numbers and everything there makes it much more useful.

I rarely notice such things but lately there seem to have been a few
such issues between various programs in Windows.

I confirm that can not be copy from LibreOffice and pasted on gmail.

When I use notepad as an intermediary, I can copy form notepad and paste in gmail.

Dan, Tom : I suspect that this is (as so often previously) a Windows
problem. I have no difficulty att all copying from a document in
LibreOffice 4.2.0.4 (Build ID: 420m0(Build:4)) and pasting to Gmail on my
main box, running Linux Mint 16 and Firefox Nightly (30.0a1 2014-02-15)....
