Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 26416
Deleting or Drag-N-Drop from a table leaves a blank table
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:38:26 UTC
If I mark a table with Ctrl-A, Ctrl-A or by selecting with a mouse and then use Ctrl-X, Delete or try to drag-and-drop it in another location, I am left with a blank table. The text disappears, but the empty table remains. Expected behavior: both text AND table are removed from the original location. I classify this as a bug. Even if the intent is for OOo users to be able to delete the contents of a table and still have the table for use or correction, then only the "Delete" key should function in the current fashion. The purpose of Ctrl-X is to remove something from one location and possibly copy it to another. The same is true of Drag-N-Drop. By functioning in a way contrary to the normal use of the functions (both Ctrl-X and drag-and-drop), the behavior appears as a bug or a defect. If you want to change it to an enhancement, that is fine with me, but it needs correction regardless what it is called. BTW, this is NOT the same as issue 7747 and I can find no other issues that fit this one.
confirming with 1.1.2RC
Subcomponent changed.
This behaviour works like it was designed for. When selecting from paragraph ABOVE the table until paragraph succeeding the table, then the table will be deleted. Change of behaviour must be blessed by UserExp dept.
