pasting problem [closed]
I'm using Windows XP SP3 and LibreOffice 4 and I'm experiencing problems when pasting to Writer.
After doing several copy/paste work, for this example, let's us say I've successfully copied and pasted 5 times, on the 6th copy function, pasting into Writer will paste the selection from the previous copy (the 5th copy).
However, if I test pasting into notepad or wordpad, the selection from the 6th copy pastes just fine. But in Writer, it's clipboard is somehow stuck on the previous (5th) copy.
Even if I do several more copy functions (7th, 8th, 9th selection copy), pasting into Writer will always paste the 5th selection copied.
I have tried searching for postings of problems similar to this hoping that there is already a solution, but to no avail. So, I'm hoping someone here can help me.
Thanks in advance!
I have a solution - at least for my instance. I also was getting a problem with pasting the previous item copied to the clip board. Closing and opening Libre Calc solved it for a few instances and the it stopped pasting between Firefox and Libre completely. It would work to paste to a text editor - which would clear the clip board. After reading the list here - I started closing programs. I had opened Freemaker Video Converter and had not closed it. Once closed, the problem went away.
