Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 86894
Cell range selection not highlighted when pasted - approved
Last modified: 2013-08-07 15:14:10 UTC
When pasting a cell range, Calc no longer highlights the pasted range even though the cell range is logically selected. Steps to reproduce: 1. Select A1:C3, and press Ctrl-C. 2. Move the cursor to D5. 3. Press Ctrl-V. The cell range gets pasted, but the range is not highlighted. Note that even in this circumstance, the bottom-right marker is displayed & the subsequent ENTER key presses navigates the cell cursor within the pasted range. I've tested this using OOH680 m10.
I think this should be fixed for 2.4. It's a regression.
For 2.4 we only include blocker issues as determined by the release status meeting. I don't think we have to further delay the release because of this issue.
Created attachment 52038 [details] simple change to fix this regression
I cherry-picked from calcselection the minimum change necessary to fix this regression. Changing the issue type to PATCH.
Move target.
@pjanik: this one is only relevant to 2.4. 3.0 doesn't suffer from this regression. So, the target should change to 2.4.1 which doesn't exist yet.
setting target back to 2.4. Please reset target to 2.4.1 once that target number becomes available.
at this stage of release I suggest to choose target 2.4.1 for this. @nn: can you please review the suggested fix
Niklas is on vacation. To me the patch looks viable, but I'm not familiar with the selection overlay and whether calling an update during cut/paste might be harmful.
Set keyword regression.
added "approved" to the title, because it will be easier to work with the 2.4.1 meta issue during release status meetings.
I committed this to CWS "pasteselection". I also added the corresponding call for "Find all" (issue 88244, caused by the same change).
