how to get writer to paste?

I’m new to libre writer and I can’t get it to paste anything. Paste is greyed out. I can’t copy and paste from other documents or something off the internet (like an URL), etc. Always greyed out.

tdf#116983 - will be fixed in 7.1.2.

Looks like workaround is to press Ctrl+V to paste, or Ctrl+Shift+V for paste special

Thank you everyone for your ideas.

I’ve already tried the Ctrl+V and Ctrl+Shift+V before asking for help – I tried every way I could think of to paste.

That’s tdf#57147, fixed by the same change, and thus will be fixed in 7.1.2.
