Never seen it do that.
I've seen it, and when I do I use edit->paste special->past unformatted
text. It takes out the formatting which removes the black objects. Of
course, then it has to be reformatted.
I've used openoffice and eventually libreoffice for a long time. About
10-12 years ago I wrote my PhD with openoffice. Soon after, I wrote my
book with it. It was a steep learning curve at first, because I'd had
no training in the kind of formatting expected by publishers. But I
really learned to love how style sheets work, how easy it was to just
change the stylesheet and have the text ready for another publisher to
look at and so on. I use stylesheets all the time now, even though I
rarely change them unless submitting an article for publication, or
whatever.
