The document is marked as modified (i.e. simply copying to the clipboard changes the documents). This started happening after updating KDE from 6.2.5 to 6.3.0 in openSUSE Tumbleweed. I suspect this is a KDE bug. Reproducible on a completely clean installation of the openSUSE Tumbleweed in VirtualBox. Also reproduces on a clean install of Fedora 41 with KDE 6.3 (but not with KDE 6.2.5) and Neon with KDE 6.2.90. The same under X11 and Wayland. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Start LibreOffice Writer 2. Type any text 3. Select a part of text 4. Press Ctrl+C or click copy to clipboard in context menu OBSERVED RESULT __DdeLink__XXXX_XXXXXXXXXX bookmark appears, the document is marked as modified. EXPECTED RESULT No document modification. Just copy to clipboard, as it was before KDE 6.3.0 (6.2.90). SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: openSUSE Tumbleweed 20250227 KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.11.0 Qt Version: 6.8.2 Kernel Version: 6.13.4-1-default (64-bit) Version: 24.8.4.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 480(Build:2) CPU threads: 12; OS: Linux 6.13; UI render: default; VCL: kf6 (cairo+xcb) Locale: ru-RU (ru_RU.UTF-8); UI: ru-RU Calc: threaded 2404140 1 tux 2025-03-03 01:12:40 +0000 I've been affected with this too on KDE 6.3.2 A fresh/new LibreOffice profile doesn't help. A way to make it less annoying is to disable "Field Shadings" in the "View" menu, so you at least don't see the marks. And before saving or sharing a file, you can go to "Insert" -> "Bookmark..." and delete everything. 2405081 2 nate 2025-03-05 18:41:51 +0000 Oh, so that's what's going on here. I've been seeing the same thing in LibreOffice Writer myself for months, but never managed to figure out what was going on. My first impression is that this is an app bug, but if you say it started happening upon upgrading to 6.3 (which also matches my timeline, since I run git master and effectively got the early version of Plasma 6.3 months ago) then maybe something we changed has triggered this. 2405336 3 qydwhotmail 2025-03-06 12:06:28 +0000 Can reproduce on X11, investigating... 2405422 4 bug-janitor 2025-03-06 16:14:09 +0000 A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/5296 2405428 5 qydwhotmail 2025-03-06 16:19:42 +0000 I am not sure if this is a bug: https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/libreoffice-writer-automatic-bookmark-creation-while-keyboard-maestro-engine-is-running/97599/2 2405438 6 tux 2025-03-06 17:19:52 +0000 (In reply to Fushan Wen from comment #5) > I am not sure if this is a bug: > https://ask.libreoffice.org/t/libreoffice-writer-automatic-bookmark-creation- > while-keyboard-maestro-engine-is-running/97599/2 That's on MacOS when running the MacOS program "Keyboard Maestro", so not relevant here on Linux. 2405577 7 qydwhotmail 2025-03-07 00:56:00 +0000 (In reply to tux from comment #6) > That's on MacOS when running the MacOS program "Keyboard Maestro", so not > relevant here on Linux. It's actually the same "bug" (expected behavior) because both have the clipboard manager feature. 2405831 8 nate 2025-03-07 19:09:26 +0000 From discussion in the merge request, it's now clear what's going on. LibreOffice follows an ancient spec for cross-document linking, and as a result, when copying text, a special MIME type is added. When using a clipboard manager like Klipper, this MIME type triggers a link to be created back to the copied text in the document. This was always happening, but went mostly un-noticed because the links were invisible outside of LibreOffice's Navigator view. A recent change in LibreOffice made them visible by default, exposing the problem. The correct solution here is to ignore the special MIME type in Klipper, which signals to the app that we don't care about creating those links, so they don't get created. 2405843 9 nate 2025-03-07 19:59:48 +0000 Git commit 7037a696a043f0aa7dba1fd51d4879cf43b5961d by Nate Graham, on behalf of Fushan Wen.
