Hi. Please... - open the attached spreadsheet - select the cell range A1 to A4 - hold down the left mouse button (lmb) over the selection - move the selection to somewhere (while keeping the lmb hold down) - enter some characters: the results: 1. the characters ARE entered 2. the drag operation IS cancelled 3. the drag border REMAINS: This is not only a graphic glitch since it can be scrolled! All three things should not happen. Drag&drop should only be canceled by pressing ESC. It looks like this is a windows only bug. Tested versions: StarOffice 8 Product Update 9 Linux: NOT affected OpenOffice 2.3.1 Windows: AFFECTED OpenOffice 680m241 Windows AFFECTED

Solution: Entering characters should be ignored while dragging cells (like Linux builds).
i can confirm this issue. entering some text while dragging an area quits the current action, and quits the action in a non-graceful way.
OS="Windows, all"
WindowsXP is the only Windows-OS which I have tested. But I guess that all Windows-versions are affected.
