Description Frank Schönheit 2007-01-10 06:51:37 UTC

- copy some text into the clipboard which contains a space character
  Make sure you do this in an application which really only copies
  the text format (no HTML etc.)
- in an empty cell of a Calc spreadsheet, press Ctrl-V
=> The "Text import" dialog appears
- press Escape to cancel this dialog
=> an info message is shown saying "The contents of the clipboard could not be
pasted."

Well, yes, heck, I just *cancelled* pasting, so why bother me?

This is a usability issue. If the user cancels an operation, this should
*cancel*, not disturb/distract with yet another dialog.

(Side note: The "Text Import" dialog as such is disturbing enough in daily work.
I do not know *any* other application which, upon a simply Paste, opens a modal
dialog. This is highly unusual in my opinion, and breaks my work flow multiple
times a day ...)

In CWS calc41:
sc/source/ui/view/viewfun5.cxx  1.45.16.1

Regarding the disturbing "Text Import" dialog: that was introduced upon request,
see issue 15509, as we don't have a general "process clipboard data to paste"
handling with a filter options button in the Paste Special dialog.

thanks for the quick fix. I added my rant to issue 15509, thanks for pointing me
there.
