You just CONFIRMED it is a bug, did you NOT?
Since "Ctrl-Insert and Shift-Insert are not assigned any bindings", should it
not just do what it did for the past 20 years ???

Talking about what "MS Excel does" is a distraction, because this does not
relate to Excel or any other spreadsheet software. It worked correctly in the
previous versions.

The correct way is: you want a piece of a text or equation from one cell pasted
into a cell or equation in the other cell, you DO NOT EVER want the complete
properties of one cell moved to another, otherwise you would NOT be editing the
contents in the first place. Say you wanted a piece of an equation to be copied
and paste it to finish some equation in another cell. Would you like fries with
that? For example: your background to be changed to RED and your text color to
BLUE and set borders around the cell you are editing an equation in?

But the bug goes on much deeper than that.

I just discovered that while I pasted a table from a web browser into one
spreadsheet, the plaintext of that was inserted into a SINGLE cell in another
spreadsheet that was open somewhere else, the contents of it thus are:

"=H11/2'file:///home/user/documents/tables.ods'#sheet1.a10792014-6-15 0:0:0
521.001 542 571.371 502 629..."

I do not know who, when or for what purpose changed the behavior, but this is
one serious hack. Should I assume that Libre Office just accesses the contents
of the buffer and pastes it anywhere it likes?



I corrected the part of the table, erased "cell formatting" on the range, set
format to display one digit. Saved. Now it displays "###". Repeat ad libitum.

The button to decrease the number of decimal places does not do anything, only
either manually change cell properties or erase formatting and set anew.

When I paste the contents here, it is clear why the "###". No matter how many
times I click in decreasing the number of decimals, nothing changes. What
process happens during the save that edits the spreadsheet? Why does save do
any spreadsheet WRITE access?
