Using remote desktop and running OO Base on host machine. When copying and pasting from client machine to host machine OO Base crashes to desktop. specific incident. When I copy an SQL string locally, and paste it into the RDP session into the query designer in OO Base, OO Base crashes hard. Every time. there has been no variation in this behavior for several versions of OO Base and several client installations of windows from XP to 7. The Host has been windows server 2003. However. If I first copy the text into Notepad on the host, and then copy THAT and paste it into Base on the host, it works fine. So there's no issues with the connecting cliboards. or the local clipboard on the host. for S&G I just tried to paste text from my client into Writer on the host. It also failed, but didn't crash. It gave me the error message "Requested Clipboard format is not available". I also tried paste special as unformatted text. same result. Same success when pasting into notepad on the host, and then copying that and pasting into writer.
Additional: Local machine, copied Excel cells from excel 2010 and pasted them into calc on the remote machine, and it worked. Tried copying flat text locally and pasting that into a cell in Calc on the remote machine, got the error message "The contents of the clipboard could not be pasted" Again, Copying into notepad on the remote machine then copying and pasting that into a cell worked fine.

Crashing to desktop is not a bug? Funny. I thought it was a bug. Is it supposed to do that?
Test it with OOo 3.3 the issue still happens? Lots of bugfixes maybe solved your problem. The OOo 3.2.1 issues will be fixed only if it reproducible in latest OOo version.
Could you please have a lool at this? Thanks.

The part about pasting plain text still happens on 4.0.1. I can't even paste a single cell, in the input area or just having selected a cell. In fact, if I use the keyboard Ctrl+V, I don't even get the error message, just nothing happens. Ideally, one should be able to copy tab-delimited text, and paste it on any cell, and have the tabs and newlines determine what ends up in which cell. Currently to do this you have to create a new document.
The odd thing is, you can freely accomplish all this via drag 'n' drop. But IMHO drag 'n' drop and copy 'n' paste should function the same way, but maybe I'm ignorant of something here.
