What version of Xfce did you use?

Sorry, I did not use Xfce, simply a regular Ubuntu desktop.
Btw., doesn't ctrl-shift-x,c,v work for you in xterm for cut, copy & paste?

(In reply to Beluga from comment #5)
> doesn't ctrl-shift-x,c,v work for you in xterm for cut, copy & paste?

That only works in "Terminal".  Xterm is devoid of that.  The closest you can come is 

xterm -fn 8x16 -fg darkgreen -bg white -bdc -cc "33:48,37:48,45-47:48,38:48"  -geometry 140x25 -xrm '*VT100*translations: #override \n Shift Ctrl <Key>C:select-end(PRIMARY, CLIPBOARD, CUT_BUFFER0) \n Shift Ctrl <Key>V:insert-selection(PRIMARY, CUT_BUFFER0)'

but that doesn't work all that well.  And, no one except die hard xterm'ers like myself are going to go through that effort.

What you wind up doing is having a Leafpad open, copy and pasting from LO to Leafpad, then highlighting and right clicking from Leafpad to your Xterm.

Also, I don't know if I emphasized it or not, but LO is the only program I am having the problem with.

Asked on #xfce and one person could not reproduce, LibO 4.2.7, xterm-297, Ubuntu with Xfce.
I'm going away for the holidays, so can't continue asking around. You should hop on #xfce and #xubuntu and try to get independent confirmation (or maybe an Xfce dev can solve it).

What version of Xfce?

I asked the Xfce Mailing list if anyone else can reproduce it

(In reply to Todd from comment #8)

> I asked the Xfce Mailing list if anyone else can reproduce it

Got one response back so far and he was able to reproduce it

problem persists in 4.3.5

Quoting:
if you mean with "highlight" a triple-click on the line, my LO 4.2.7.2 
gives me:
Service detection performed. Please report any incorrect results
=>
Service detection performed.
The other eamples are o. k. The result of the first example contradicts 
with every experience, or better convention.
Copying from LO to Lo works.
(end quote)

I guess that counts as reproducing, although it's not very consistent. I don't know, why he is talking about triple-clicking.
Let's set to NEW anyway.
Severity lowered per https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/images/0/06/Prioritizing_Bugs_Flowchart.jpg

Okay.  I have no idea where the triple clicking came from.

By "highlight", I mean, position your mouse at the start of the text you want to copy, press down the left mouse button , leave it down and sweep across the text your want to copy, then let go.

By middle click, I mean the center roller on a two button mouse with a center roller.  This can be simulated on a two button only mouse (no roller) by simultaneously clicking the right and left buttons together.

After you have highlighted your text (leave it highlighted), go to and xterm or a leafpad and center click to paste the highlighted text.  You should only see a fragment of what you highlighted.

The only program with this behavior is LO

Installed Scientific Linux 7 64-bit on a VM. Installed Xfce 4.10 and xterm-295-3.

Hi Beluga,

Good.  You have access to VM's.

Xfce 4.10 does run on Scientific Linux 6.6.  

Would you please create a new VM with SL 6.6 and load Xfce 4.8 and LO 4.3.4 on it to trouble this problem?   LO 4.3.4 is the ONLY program manifesting this issue.

Many thanks,
-T

Anyone with access to a computer has access to VMs.

Why do you want to run Xfce 4.8? How would I even install Xfce 4.8 64-bit on SL 6.6, if I don't want to build from source? This thread is relevant: http://scientificlinuxforum.org/index.php?showtopic=364

I did download SL 6.6, but I won't install it, before I get a reply from you.

LibreOffice might be the only program manifesting the issue in your setup, but it still seems like it's not a LibreOffice bug and this report could be closed, if you updated to Xfce 4.10. The reproduction on the mailing list sounds like there might have been a misunderstanding.

I don't.  I have no choice.  4.10 is not supported under SL 6.x

> How would I even install Xfce 4.8 64-bit on
> SL 6.6

yum install http://mirror.pnl.gov/epel/6/x86_64/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm
yum --enablerepo=epel* groupinstall xfce-desktop

Middle-click paste from LibreOffice doesn't truncate with this setup either:
SL 6.6 64-bit.
Xfce 4.8
Xterm 253-1
LibreOffice 4.3.4

Can you please reply to the person on the Xfce mailing list and try to clarify the reproduction steps?
You could also try SL 7 in a VM, installing Xfce 4.10 from EPEL 7.

Install and activate Clip It to reproduce.

$ rpm -qa \*clipit\*
clipit-1.4.2-6.el6.x86_64

You can start it from the command line or

--> applications menu
  --> settings
    --> session and start up
      --> autostart (tab)
        --> check off "clipit (Clipboard manager) "
           --> logout and back on. 

A clipboard should appear in the upper right of your task bar (panel 1).  You can right click and quit for testing purposes

What are you looking for?

> You could also try SL 7 in a VM, installing Xfce 4.10 from EPEL 7.

That would be a bit of an undertaking.  I will do it if you think it necessary after your test with clipit.

This has to do with LO's interaction with clipit.  (Note that LO is the ONLY program with this issue.)

RHEL7/SL7 does not support 32 bit apps, meaning that 32 bit Wine is not supported, making RHEL/SL7 a bad choice for a workstation.  Why the curiosity for a platform that is pretty much useless as a workstation?

If you have SL7 in a VM, maybe you could trying starting clipit and see if it reproduced there as well?

Ok obviously this changes everything. This should be unconfirmed, but I will keep as NEW until I can test.

rpm -qa \*clipit\* doesn't do anything. How can I install clipit (on SL 6.6)? From what I read, it should be in EPEL 6, but is not found in the software selection.

Hi Beluga,

#=root; $=user

To find "clipit":
$ su
# yum --enablerepo=epel* whatprovides clipit
...
clipit-1.4.2-6.el6.x86_64 : A lightweight, fully featured GTK+ clipboard manager
Repo        : epel


Once found, to install (still as root):
# yum --enablerepo=epel* install clipit


To test, fire it up from the command line as a user:
$ clipit &


-T

Thanks for the steps.
EPEL 7 apparently doesn't have clipit, so I only tested on SL 6.6.
I could not reproduce the truncation, so I'm setting back to unconfirmed.

Verify clipit is running:

$ ps ax | grep -i clipit | grep -v grep

Ok, it seems clipit wasn't running the last time I tried! Now I got the truncated result.

Yet, ClipIt seems to be abandoned:
http://sourceforge.net/p/gtkclipit/code/ci/master/tree/
http://www.linuxgator.org/gnome/forum/viewtopic.php?p=24913
"Developer switched to KDE; says he cant handle working with Gnome 3."

I don't see an easy solution as the developer doesn't want to work on it anymore.

ClipIt forked from Parcellite, but Parcellite has been in active development during the past couple of years:
http://parcellite.sourceforge.net/

Would you like to try Parcellite or some other manager:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/clipboard#List_of_clipboard_managers

Btw., I found your discussion about wine32 and SL 7.
I tried this "HOWTO build wine 32bit on CentOS 7":
https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=49542
But my wine build failed because of a symbolic link issue (I posted to the thread).

I will just keep the Source RPM around so I can recompile it.

Parcellite (or the version that runs under SL 6.x) won't allow for the coping and pasting of images.  Sigh.

You have a favorite replacement?

Wow!  What a tremendous amount of work!  And in Step 1, he made no mention of where he is getting all those i686 packages from.  I book marked it, just in case I ever have a free week with nothing else to do and decide to try compiling it again.

Sorry, I don't use clipboard managers myself. CopyQ looks hot, but it requires Qt, which might be a deal-breaker for you.

I could reproduce the truncation with these old versions, too:

LibreOffice 3.5.0rc3 
Build ID: 7e68ba2-a744ebf-1f241b7-c506db1-7d53735

Version 4.0.4.2 (Build ID: 4.0.4.2-14.el6)

So this isn't a regression we could bibisect :(

Here are my notes:

step 2:
had to tweak this:
yum localinstall rpmbuild/RPMS/i686/chrpath-0.13-14.el7.centos.i686.rpm

to this:
yum localinstall rpmbuild/RPMS/i686/chrpath-0.13-14.el7.i686.rpm

Installed cmake from package manager.

had to tweak this:
yum localinstall rpmbuild/RPMS/i686/openal-soft{,-devel}-1.16.0-2.el7.centos.i686.rpm

to this:
yum localinstall rpmbuild/RPMS/i686/openal-soft{,-devel}-1.16.0-2.el7.i686.rpm
