Thank you, this helps a lot!  The fact that you had to change PRIMARY to
CLIPBOARD should not be a problem in practise: (1) LO should be putting
the data in the CLIPBOARD anyway, and (2) yank-media abstracts this away
for us.

If possible, could you please try LibreOffice 7.6.4? The version Ihor
has installed in his system.  There is an AppImage available for you to
try.
