Problem using Copy Paste

Hi all,

Today I found out this weird behavior of Calc that I had never seen before.

In a new spreadsheet, when I try to copy a simple formula, let's say '=A1+B1' to cells D2 to F2, Calc doesn't copy the formulas.
^C and ^V don't work, as menu commands don't work either.
What happens is that a window pops up that has as title 'Text Import'!

I can only past cells one at a time!

I created a new profile but it didn't work.
I also reinstalled openoffice, with old profile but the problem remains.

Now, I will wait for your clues and reinstall openoffice with a new profile and see what happens.

I'm using version 3.1.1 build 9420 64 bits on a Linux machine.

Well, I moved the $HOME/openoffice/3/user to another directory, and reinstalled openoffice.

But the problem remains. I cannot copy formulas and paste special doesn't work either. A paste special window pops up only with the option of unformatted text available, not the usual dialog.

What's happening?
I'd appreciate any clue on this.
