Calc copy&paste Fw: [libreoffice-users] Help with two issue I am finding in LO

Hi :)
I have had a few issues copy&pating lately.  Not sure i can pin it down to a single app or single 
OS.  


Seems that nowadays if i copy something and then close the document i copied it from then paste 
'forgets' and goes back to the previous thing i copied/cut.  If i keep the document open then paste 
works just fine.  


Is your current and recent problem likely to be something similar?

Err, because there are 2 separate questions i tried to break this Calc issue out into a separate 
thread by "Forwarding" this email back to this mailing list.  "Reply to all" hopefully works  fine 
now.

Regards from 

Tom :)
