Description Andrea Pescetti 2006-08-13 15:54:13 UTC 
1. Open a new Calc document.
2. Write "Test" in A1.
3. Copy cell A1, select B1-B10, paste.
4. "Test" gets pasted to all selected cells.
5. Open a new Writer document, type "Test", copy the word "Test".
6. Back to Calc, select C1-C10, paste.

Expected:
7. "Test" gets pasted to all selected cells.

Actual:
7. "Test" gets pasted to only one cell.

Desired behavior: a warning is shown, saying that the selected range of cells
does not match the clipboard contents; then all selected cells are filled.

This is also an Excel compatibility issue: Excel behaves as specified in this
ENHANCEMENT.

IMHO we should keep it as is. But this is just my opinion. Requirements have to
decide.
