Re: [libreoffice-users] New bug 64028: Calc forgets cell format when cell is cut (^X)
Hi :) I think it is and always has been the default behaviour of all spreadsheets on all OSes. It's never occurred to me that it is oddly cumbersome. I suspect Mike just didn't notice because it's such a normal thing to have happen. In the bug-report someone suggested a Cut Special just as there is a Paste Special and to use the shift key for that one too. I think that could be a brilliant idea. I just wonder why no-one else seems to have thought of this or why the idea might have been rejected if it ever was put forwards Regards from Tom :) From: Steve Edmonds steve.edmo...@ptglobal.com To: MR ZenWiz mrzen...@gmail.com Cc: Michael Manning michaelgmann...@gmail.com; Tom Davies tomdavie...@yahoo.co.uk; LibreOffice users@global.libreoffice.org Sent: Tuesday, 30 April 2013, 1:35 Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] New bug 64028: Calc forgets cell format when cell is cut (^X) I can confirm that CTL+X removes the character and number formatting in LO 3.6 on opensuse.

Hi Tom, In my setup, I was unable to recreate the issue being experienced by mrzen...@gmail.com Copying the currency-formatted cell to another cell copied both the value and the formatting.

The old cell keeps the formatting doesn't it? If a new problem is that you don't want the new cell to have the same formatting as the old cell then try Shift Ctrl V to get the Paste Special dialogue up and choose Paste as unformattted text in there. However i didn't think this was part of your problem, i thought you liked the new cell having the same formatting the old one had?
