Description rblackeagle 2004-03-12 18:48:06 UTC
If I mark a table with Ctrl-A, Ctrl-A or by selecting with a mouse and then use
Ctrl-X, Delete or try to drag-and-drop it in another location, I am left with a
blank table.  The text disappears, but the empty table remains.

Expected behavior: both text AND table are removed from the original location. 
I classify this as a bug.  Even if the intent is for OOo users to be able to
delete the contents of a table and still have the table for use or correction,
then only the "Delete" key should function in the current fashion.  The purpose
of Ctrl-X is to remove something from one location and possibly copy it to
another.  The same is true of Drag-N-Drop.  By functioning in a way contrary to
the normal use of the functions (both Ctrl-X and drag-and-drop), the behavior
appears as a bug or a defect.

If you want to change it to an enhancement, that is fine with me, but it needs
correction regardless what it is called.

BTW, this is NOT the same as issue 7747 and I can find no other issues that fit
this one.

Subcomponent changed.

This behaviour works like it was designed for. When selecting from paragraph
ABOVE the table until paragraph succeeding the table, then the table will be
deleted.
Change of behaviour must be blessed by UserExp dept.

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".
