Paste special - empty first row - Windows XP (in Hungarian)

Coping and pasting sometimes not works. I don't know how exactly reproduce it, but I found this:

Copy a not plain text with ctrl+c.
Then try to insert to a Writer document. In very rare case you cant simply paste it. (However you press ctrl+v nothing happened).
If you press ctrl+shift+v you get the Paste Special, but the first element of the list is empty.

Usually it is happening when you follow this workflow: copy the (complex, formatted) text from Writer, then open a new document and paste to it.

I was able to reproduce on Windows, and Linux (Ubuntu 10.10/32 and 64 bit)

One more notable on the panel:
Source: Source is unknown

Maybe this is the root cause of the problem.

Hi Kami,
it is some time ago that I sometimes have seen issues with paste, that seemed more or less random to me. 
And in those cases, IIRC, after a first paste within one document (application), all went on without probs.
But I'll keep my eyes open for this issue.

Hmmm, when some label or item in the UI are empty it is often the sign that your LibreOffice personal profile is corrupted.

[This is an automated message.]
This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it
started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is
changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back
to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases.
Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at:

Problem with paste special-> empty first variant reproducible in 3.5.0 beta 3 on Windows XP 32 bit (only "*" there)

@ Kami
Please, verify problem with pasting in 3.5.0
Comment 7 bfoman 2013-08-15 15:57:33 UTC
Is this still an issue in the latest stable (4.1.x) version? Please check on clean profile, too.

>Problem with paste special-> empty first variant reproducible in 3.5.0 beta 3 on >Windows XP 32 bit (only "*" there)

Reproduced in 4.0.4 on Windows XP 32 bit (locale of win is Russian) and in LO tested Russian and Belorussian. In both cases first row is empty as on screenshot.
Reproduced in 4.0.4 on Fedora RFR 64 bit (Russian locale of LO)

On English locale is not reproducible.
Comment 9 Jean-Baptiste Faure 2014-10-04 16:30:15 UTC
Could be that a lack in localization, a string that has not been translated?

Do you still see the same problem in current stables versions (4.2.6 and 4.3.2)?


Best regards. JBF
