1366859 - Error in the copy/paste function of a text + image content from LibreOffice

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1359817

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, defect)

Description

[Pascal]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.110 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

If you do have a document containing text and images and you would like to copy part of this document and paste it into an email that is being written. It's a bit of a basic computer operation (copy / paste) that should work without worries, unfortunately not in Thunderbird :(

For example, starting from a Libre office document (or open office or other), the text and the images are copied, but when pasting into TB only the text is pasted, the images are not pasted in the process. But they are still in the clipboard, and if you paste this content in another document it will nicely paste the whole (text + images), only TB refrain to paste the images.

Frankly not cool. And when the images are placed at different portions of the text and you have to go one by one to paste them separately to the right passages it becomes an absurd task to do.

Before it worked correctly though, but not any more since a few updates. Is Mozilla aware of this bug ? Corrections planned ?

Totally uncool and 100% fault of LibreOffice, see bug 1359817.

I'd be interested to know where/when that worked, that is, with which version of L/O and TB.

> Is Mozilla aware of this bug ?
Yes. See bug 1359817 comment #1.

> Corrections planned ?
No, since we don't fix L/O :-(
