------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Apr 30 15:56:26 +0000 2008 ------- with the implementation of issue 7180, basic functionality for row and column dragging is available. unfortunately, this functionality is pretty much hidden from most users - they would most likely never discover it on their own, as it requires dragging of selected cells instead of their headings and holding a modifier key (two keys for most linux users, or only pressing the modifier key after dragging was started). so this very useful and long awaited feature is hidden. to expose it, it would be desirable to allow row/column moving by dragging their headings. users expect to be able to drag selection elsewhere (it works for selected text, cells and other entities), so the intuitive thing everybody first tries is to drag columns by their heading. not being able to do that, most users would decide that this is not implemented yet. currently, dragging a column/row selection by heading simply starts a new selection, so such a change would not disrupt an existing functionality. (i searched for such a request for a while and asked on #dev.openoffice.org, but couldn't find already existing issue). --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
