Summary
Whenever I copy text (cmd+c), a new “dde” bookmark is automatically created. This only happens when Keyboard Maestro engine is running. I’ve just installed LibreOffice for the first time.
Steps to Recreate
- Open a new Writer document
- Enter text
- Select and copy text
- Deselect the text and paste it somewhere else
- Either after I copy (and after a short delay), after I move to the new location to paste (hitting tab/return is enough), or after I paste, a bookmark is created, named like “__DdeLink__1171_3974737921”
Notes
- Larger documents cause longer pauses after cmd+c before the bookmark is added
- It doesn’t matter if I use the keyboard shortcut or the menu item
- I have not customized the LibreOffice or Writer keyboard shortcuts and don’t have anything assigned to Insert Bookmark
- There are no triggers in Keyboard Maestro that conflict with cmd+c
- Keyboard Maestro doesn’t seem to indicate anything is happening in the logs when I do this
- When I quit Keyboard Maestro engine, the issue no longer occurs
- I would like to be able to keep Keyboard Maestro engine running while working in LibreOffice writer in case I want to program macros in it (or run other non-LibreOffice macros while it happens to be open), so having to quit the KM engine whenever I open LibreOffice is not a solution for me.
