For what it is worth, I've had this type of issue for quite a while with MailMate.  "Something" in the original text makes MM think that the content is some sort of a binary object and the only way to "paste" is to make it an image, as you have seen.

For a year or two I've had to paste text into something like Sublime Text first, then re copy it to the clipboard before pasting it into MailMate.

I reported it a while back, and Benny was the one who pointed out that whatever was in the original document/copy action was potentially confusing the process.

I don't think it's just LibreOffice, or any specific application, it happens all the time with plain ASCII text in web applications I use (well, what *appears* as plain ASCII to my eyes, but, who knows).
