paste of pure text inserts column break
Last modified: 2014-03-24 19:49:42 UTC
to reproduce: 0. enable the display of paragraph marks (reversed P) 1. open the attached writer document. 2. select arbitrary text from within the paragraph in the right column (e. g. a single word like "wide" of the second last line is sufficient) then Ctrl-C 3. place mouse cursor in the last (empty) paragraph (just before the single paragraph-sign) 4. press Ctrl-V 5. observe that a break is inserted so that the new text appears at the beginning of a new column. expected behavior: the pasted text shall be inserted without a column break.
Created attachment 9001 [details] writer document (testcase)
Confirmed / reproducable on 1.1RC3/Redhat 9
confirmed with OOo1.1RC4 this is heard to decide the selection copys the paragraph attribute. this paragraph has the attribute column brake and this is set to the empty paragraph if you insert any selection of the paragraph before. copying any word of first paragraph in the right column copys the paragraph attributes as well usability issue. set os to all set to Prio 4 set target to Office later i let the issue type as defect, because we have to decide if this will be handled as bug or enhancement reassigned to jw

I think the issue described here isn't a bug, though the result will surprising for the first time. As stated in comment 3 with copying text into clipboard also the paragraph attribute.will be copied. But if you insert the text the paragraph attribute will only assign to previously empty paragraphs. In this way you can copy and paste text and assigned paragraph styles like e. g. headings. If you dont't want this simply type a character like space before pasting the text. Or use Paste special... and select "Unformatted text".
