Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 15739
paste primary selection enters data in wrong cell
Last modified: 2003-09-08 16:55:29 UTC
Pasting the primary selection (Mouse-Button-2) pastes data in the cell BELOW the one where the mouse button is clicked. Steps: 1. Open new spreadsheet 2. Highlight data in another window 3. Click Mouse-button-2 (middle/paste) in cell C3 4. Data appears in cell C4
Update: This only seems to happen when I paste from Mozilla (1.4rc1), either an HTML window, a mail message, or a 'Show source' window, but NOT from a text entry field. Pasting from another OOo window (or cell) works correctly; pasting from a shell window works also.
Ok, what seems to be happening is that the selection being pasted is coming in with formatting and ends up occupying two cells: the one clicked in and the one below it. Because the top cell ends up blank, I thought it was empty. Now I see that it has had it's format (font & size at least) altered by the paste. I still don't know (nor do I know how to check) if this a Mozilla problem or in OOo.
Ok, I give up. I've got so many (5) different installations of OOo and StarOffice that I don't know what I'm running anymore. This problem is with the earlier beta; the 1.1b2 does NOT do this. Can I close this? If not, somebody else kill it. In the immortal words of Ms. Rosanadana - "Never mind".
