webistrator <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #9 from webistrator <[email protected]> --- I have the same problem with Writer 3.3 -- and unless corrected in 4.0 this IS A PROBLEM AND NOT A FEATURE! Word 2010 and on no longer behave this way. It was corrected in a later Word release and should be in Writer as well. To summarize , when one is copying/pasting from anywhere in a text string except from the first character position, an extra space is added to the beginning at the pasted-to location. As an example of where this is quite tedious, copying/pasting non-English foreign/special character names or other text. One does this to avoid having to pull up Writer's incomplete special character table function each time one needs, say, a diacritical character. I say "incomplete" because unlike WORD (if, as the original excuse for not correcting this problem says, is the goal of Writer design) Writer does not retain a subgroup of the most recently copied characters to ease the table look-up task. Using erroneous Word functionality as an excuse for not being better than Word is just perpetuating a mistake. "Copy/paste" should not be "Copy/add-a-space/paste". Please re-open this issue and add it to the "repair" category of fixes. Thank you! J. T. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
