Description Byron Hawkins 2017-02-03 10:51:35 UTC 
When I attempt to copy csv data from another application and paste it into gnumeric, it works for a while--but eventually the gnumeric paste feature gets stuck on the last selected region within gnumeric, and refuses to paste from the system clipboard. I can paste into another application to verify that the system clipboard does contain exactly what I thought. The selection within gnumeric should not be related to the system clipboard. It should paste from the system clipboard no matter what. Please correct the concept error, then fix the code accodingly.

How it this related to charting?
Comment 2 Byron Hawkins 2017-02-03 11:18:54 UTC 
My mistake, I happened to be making charts, but the bug is only related to the clipboard. I changed it to "import/export text", which may also not be correct, I'm not sure.
Comment 3 Morten Welinder 2017-02-03 18:23:11 UTC 
That has all the signs of a buggy system clipboard manager.
