Description
When I add a table to WordPress post, I cannot paste a table from Libreoffice Calc. It should be pasteable from other tables/spreadsheet programs?

I can also paste in a table that way - if I don't insert a table block and then try to paste in it. I initially thought that would be how one would do it.

Gotcha -- glad it's working, and thank you for the follow-up!
Yes, the Table block is for building the table directly in the editor, whereas the blank inserter is pretty smart and can accept HTML.
Based on your response, LibreOffice Calc tables could be considered as supported in the editor already, so there is no need to report upstream at this time. Closing ticket for now.

FWIW, I don't have LibreOffice, but using macOS Numbers I can paste a table into the editor (into an empty block insertion point). If LibreOffice Calc copies HTML to the pasteboard, then it would seem a valid use case to support LibreOffice as well.
