Description erni35 2010-04-15 11:14:48 UTC 
I marked two cells in different columns, there are one or more columns between.
Inserting the cells from clipboard, the cells just beneaht with no column
between them.

Reproducible with "Ooo-Dev 3.3 multilingual version English UI WIN XP:
[DEV300_m76 (Build 9491)]"!

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open attached "sample.ods"
2. Press and hold <cntrl>, click 'B1', 'D1'
   'B1', 'D1' will be highlighted
3. <cntrl>+<c> for copy
4. click 'B2'
5. <cntrl>+<v> for paste
   Expected: 'B2', 'D2' should be filled with contents of 'B1', 'D1'
   Actual:   'B2', 'C2' will be filled with contents of 'B1', 'D1', Contents of
             'C2' will be overwritten (if warning has been deselected)

In former versions this operation was not possible, in step 3 you would have
seen the message "This function cannot be used with multiple selections"
Problem with fix for Issue 25855 or desired behaviour? I also find good reason
to paste not adjacent contents to adjacent cells, and pls. also see Issue 26329!

It's intended behavior, see

Comment 4 Rainer Bielefeld 2010-04-16 11:29:29 UTC 
Thought so, thank you for the link!

@erni35:
If you have good reasons to request other behavior, please discuss on discussion
page of a.m. WIKI page before you reopen this issue with detailed, evident reasons.
Comment 5 erni35 2010-04-16 15:10:51 UTC 
Ok, thank you. I have often to copy cells and want to paste tehm not
consolidated. What about an additional point in the dialog "insert content"?
