Can't insert multiple rows in a table
Last modified: 2013-08-07 14:44:35 UTC
When you select 2 (or more) rows in a table and right-click to row->insert, only the last selected row is inserted. Worked well in previous versions. swnewtable bug?

MRU->AMA: maybe really a regression of swnewtable... Insert a table, select two or more rows and click "Insert row" button -> only one row will be inserted.
An ugly workaround: Copy the selected rows and paste it as a new table. Then merge the two tables.
Yes, I changed this behavior with swnewtable. But I would not call this a regression, for me it is a progression :-) What do you want? Do you want to insert more than one row? You should use table/insert/row and you will get the number of rows you wanted. Or do you want to split rows? Then you should select the rows you want to split and use table/cells/split.
I just want to insert a group of rows, duplicate of the selected rows. Exemple: I select two rows: Row 1: cell 1 | cell 2 Row 2: ---- cell 3 ---- With 2.2, I get what I need (by doing Row->Insert->1,after): Row 1: cell 1 | cell 2 Row 2: ---- cell 3 ---- Row 3: cell 1 | cell 2 Row 4: ---- cell 3 ---- With 2.3, I get: Row 1: cell 1 | cell 2 Row 2: ---- cell 3 ---- Row 3: ---- cell 3 ---- With split, I get: Row 1: cell 1 | cell 2 Row 2: cell 1 | cell 2 Row 3: ---- cell 3 ---- Row 4: ---- cell 3 ----
Mmmh, I see. I am interpreting your selection only as target for the insertion of rows, but you want to copy these rows. I have to think about this, ATM I could imagine to create a new 'table/copy/row' or 'table/duplicate/row'.
Set target to OOo3.0. Improvement of table insertion is related ot issue 83791 as well
Set target OOo3.x

Sorry for the duplicate. This worked well even with 2.4.1. As stated from jazzynico Thu Oct 11 14:17:56: You just copy the row-formating, not the content. See behaviour in former OO. For me, no extra button required: Button with selected rows inserts these # of rows with their formating, Button without selection simply adds one row. And adding >1 row without formating can be done with the pop-up. CU Grumpftl
