Hi there, hope it's not too late
I encountered this issue today, and after a while I noticed that after I press "paste", RANK command showed up but no EXECUTE. Adding EXECUTE. let all data showed up again.
I know EXECUTE is unnecessary in SPSS in this case, but for some reason PSPP seems to require a EXECUTE after RANK.

Therefore I suggest the devs to either add a EXECUTE to the PASTE area(execute automatically),  or fix RANK command to some extent that EXECUTE is not needed

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1. Launch PSPPIRE.
2. Switch to the Data View tab.
3. Enter 3 numbers (1.0, 2.0, 3.0) in the 3 first rows of the first column.
4. Trigger the following main menu action: Transform=>Rank Cases... and perform the following steps in the Rank Cases dialog that appears.
5. Move the only existing variable "Var0001" into the Variable(s) field using the arrow button.
6. Click the Rank Types button below.
7. Check the "Fractional rank" checkbox, then click the Continue button in the "Rank Cases: Types" dialog that appears.
8. Click the OK button in the Rank Cases dialog.

ACTUAL RESULT in versions 2.0.0 (Windows) and 2.0.1 (Debian):
A new variable RVar0001 appears in the second column, but all of its cells are empty or fewer than 3 of its rows are nonempty.

EXPECTED RESULT (these are also actual results in PSPP 1.6):
A new variable RVar0001 appears in the second column, all of its 3 first cells are nonempty and contain the values (.3333, .6667, 1.0000).
