[Issue] OOo 3.2: Can't paste clipboard to Base form

Post by tous »

In Openoffice 3.2 Base I can't paste anything from the clipboard to a Base form (any text field within a Base form to be precise) anymore - neither by keyboard shortcurt nor by selecting "Patse" in the "Edit"-menu.

Apart from that, copy and paste works within and across other OOo-applications (tried Writer and Calc).

Copying highlighted text from a Base form and pasting it elewhere (e.g. in Writer) also works. Only paste doesn't, no matter where the content of the clipboard has been copied from (another OOo-application, any other application or the same Base form).

It used to work in OOo 3.1.1.

My system:

MacBook Pro
Mac OS X Version 10.5.6
CPU: 2.5 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
RAM: 2 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM

To avoid update problems I uninstalled OOo 3.1.1 and manually deleted the OOo user profile before installing 3.2.

I tested on another Mac:

iMac:
Mac OS X Version 10.5.8
CPU: 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
RAM: 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3

Same problem here - and that machine didn't have any older version of OOo previously installed at all.

I originally encountered the problem with an ODB-file created under 3.0 (worked on newer verions up to 3.1.1 an doesn't have any other problems) that connects to MySQL via jdbc. To make sure it's not a problem with that ODB-file I created simple test database under 3.2 (using HSQLDB, quickly clicked together through the Base wizard): same problem (on both machines).

In OOo Base 3.2 Windows version everything works fine (tested with both files).

I searched forums for a while, found a few posts about various clipboard problems under Mac OSX (mostly related to older versions of OOo) but nothing of any help for me.

Does anyone have the same problem? Or even a solution? Or at least any kind of hint ... ?

I tested and can't paste into Base form either. I'd suggest filing a bug report. See "[Tutorial] Reporting bugs or suggestions"
http://user.services.openoffice.org/en/ ... 74&t=13490

After filing report, post the report number here and I will vote for the issue.

I, too, cannot paste into the form that I created to populate my OO.o database. I am on a MacPro Quad-Core Intel Xeon with 2 GB of RAM. I will go and vote that this bug be worked on.

Many thanks.

It is a different web site altogether, not related to this one, so you have to register for it separately.

Read in the issue, this can't be fixed because it is a MacOS problem. Why do other (MacOS) applications not have similar problems ? If it were a MacOS problem, surely other apps would suffer from this as well ?
