            Bug ID: 123971
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: Paste from clipboard inside macro
           Product: Writer
           Version: 4.0.1
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Windows 7
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: editing
          Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org

recording macro  ..

1.macro finds some text and marks it
2.paste whatever is on clipboard in place of selected text

The secod step does exactly that, pastes what is currently on clipboard, which
is kind of logical but on the other hand not.

If I record macro that should simply forinstance replace all occurances of
"foo"
with "foo1" (done by pasting "foo1" from clipboard at the time of macro
recording, and save it, I would expect to behave same next time I run it  -
replace foo with foo1. Instead it replaces foo wit whatever is on clipboard at
time of run.

ofcourse my 'foo1' is not that but something less rememberable, hence I'm
pasting it from clipboard.

Point beeing , I can hardly imagine anyone ever wanting that paste would work
in it's normal way while recording macro and beeing there recorded as it.

At least, upon paste, while recording macro, popup with option to record pase
or record "fake text type" would be nice.

Prefer direct input in macro.

--- Comment #1 from Edwin Sharp <el...@apache.org> ---
Your expectation is incorrect.
If clipboard content is changing it is impossible for macro to behave
differently from the manual pasting action.
