Title:
  [Upstream] [hardy] openoffice on feisty 64-bit : wrong behaviour when
  copy/pasting cells from calc to writer

Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite:
  Confirmed
Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: openoffice.org

  Copy/pasting cells from OOo Calc to OOo Writer behaves oddly on Feisty
  64-bit : the pasted object always displays the extreme top left cells.
  User then needs to manually edit the pasted object in order to scroll
  to the proper cells.

  Copy/pasting cells works fine in Feisty 32-bit (proper cells are
  displayed), only 64-bit is affected. This issue has been discussed and
  confirmed here : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=453265

  No workaround except manual editing has been found yet. This may not
  be related to OOo : maybe the way 32-bit applications are handled in a
  64-bit environment is the culprit (only an assumption...)

  OS : Feisty 64-bit (clean installation)
  Affected application : Openoffice.org
  reproducible : always

  step to reproduce : 
  - open Calc and Writer on Feisty 64bit
  - fill some random data in random Calc cells, say, A11, A12, A13
  - select those cells, then copy them using Ctrl+C
  - go to Writer paste them using Ctrl-V
  - pasted object has correct dimensions, but displayed cells are in fact A1, A2 and A3 <- this is the actual issue, not present on Feisty 32-bit which does display A11-A13 cells
  - edit the object by double-clicking it, scroll down to A11-A13 cells,
  - end object edition by clicking anywhere on Writer page.
  - you're done.

  This is a very annoying bug when you need to copypaste thing 40-50
  times a day. This actually prevents me from using Feisty 64 on a daily
  basis.
