Problem

I was editing a spreadsheet in oocalc today that I had used before without any problems. But this time, when I tried to make a copy of a line and insert it, using Paste Special, instead of getting the usual Paste Special dialog, I got a dialog still entitled "Paste Special" but offering only Format = unformatted text, and none of the usual options:

Solution

I was running the parcellite Clipboard Manager (with options Use Clipboard = YES, Use Primary = YES, Synchronize Clipboards = YES). When I stopped parcellite I got normal behaviour again in oocalc.
