Description deller 2008-05-27 20:59:14 UTC 
In Calc (all versions up to 3.0.0 beta) everytime you press the "Del" keyboard 
key in a cell or a range of selected cells, Calc pops up a dialog box in which 
it asks the user what should be deleted.

I think from a usability standpoint this dialog box is stupid. If you want to 
delete the cell, Calc shouldn't ask, but just delete the contents (Contents, 
Formulas and so on). Excel deletes the content as well without asking. 
Background color and cell borders should stay, as the user may change this 
afterwards.
