Description andree 2003-07-08 10:17:08 UTC 
Situation:
- a table with 2 columns and three rows
- the two top left cells are merged
- select the (merged) top lef cell and the two cells right to it
- copy the selection
- position the cursor in the bottom left cell
- paste the selection

Expected Behaviour:
- the selection replaces the row the cursor is in with a merged cell to the left 
  and two cells to the right

Actual (Buggy) Behaviour:
- the two cells to the right get merged into one in the pasted area


The siuation is the same for horizontally merged cells in that here as well
merged cells get squashed into one unmerged cell.

Further, selecting a target area for the paste does have no effect.


The above means in effect that copying & pasting substructures of tables is
impossible.

Andree, thank you for using and supporting OOo.

Does this problem still exist in the latest version of OOo?

If so, please attach a document that we can use to reproduce this problem.
Comment 2 andree 2003-07-22 12:39:25 UTC 
The issue does still exist in 1.1rc1.

Anyway, I'll create a file with the table I start out with, the table
with the wrong paste result and a table that shows what I expect to see.

HTH & thanks a lot for looking into this!
Andree

Is this the same as the inability to copy a formula from a merged cell
to a merged cell?  I get an error message when I try.

If this is different, I will file a separate issue for it.
