Am experiencing some erratic and very frustrating behaviour pasting table contents copied from a 3rd party application (running in a VMWare virtual machine, but don’t see how that could be a factor).
-
I copy the table with multiple columns by highlighting then CTRL C
-
I try to paste it into Calc running normally (ie not in a virtual machine). Sometimes it works as expected, other times the entire contents of a table row is pasted into the first cell of a column. Other times it works as expected correctly inserting it into correct columns in Calc, but only after 3 or 4 attempts via CTRL V. Sometimes CRTL V does not work, but paste special SHIFT+CTRL V does work!
But it really seems to be very random, although I have noticed the failure rate of ordinary CRTL V tends to increase dramatically when the row count of a table to be pasted is relatively small, maybe 8-15 rows.
This was certainly working reliably last year, but something appears to have broken maybe in the spring, and it is extremely frustrating.
Hoping somebody can debug based on this info. Many thanks!
