------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thu Sep 20 19:37:18 +0000 2007 ------- This particular problem is not just an enhancement request; it's a fundamental design flaw that has plagued OO.o from day one. Sad, but a large number of the issues tracked here are either a direct result of this design flaw or an indirect result of the hacks necessary to work around it. You can't select a paragraph, copy and paste it somewhere else and preserve its formatting sanely. Lots of operations that are simple x/c/v actions in other programs turn into arcane sequences of adding a sacrificial blank paragraph, doing the obvious thing, then removing the temporary paragraphs. The same selection under cut, copy, and paste, may behave differently depending on how the selection was made, all because the formatting of the paragraph is not stored in the paragraph mark (figuratively speaking of course). The whole "delete a P-mark and the leading para's format wins/backspace a P-mark and the trailing para's format wins" thing is... cute, but it's seriously flawed. Removing a P-mark should have one consistent consequence. Then a whole lot of other weird emergent problems simply evaporate, and a lot of special-case code can evaporate with it. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
