Description Filippo Maguolo 2014-07-28 11:15:20 UTC
Default function of paste from MSWord/WordPad creates an image, I suppose it uses now "Metafile GDI" instead of "Formatted text [RTF]".

This change was probably introduced with the bug id 77140.
Comment 1 Marc Wuillemin 2014-07-28 13:51:23 UTC
Can confirm on the following versions:
- Windows 7 64bit, LibO 4.2.5.2
- Windows 8.1 64bit, LibO 4.3.0.2
Comment 2 Michael Stahl (allotropia) 2014-08-04 19:59:31 UTC
this commit puts various image types above RTF,
which is looking rather supsicious:

The fix for this bug actually broke text and image copying from non-browser apps(such as Word, Outlook, and PDF-Xchange) to Writer. Now only text is copied and images are lost. See Bug 35176
