--- Comment #8 from [email protected] --- @Urmas: Not sure why you choosing to be rude. Please be nice to others. I believe in comment #3 of this thread I answered your question. To demonstrate this issue, simply copy the textual example spreadsheet from this thread to your clipboard. There is no underlying formatting, just plain ASCII text. @JBP: I agree that "workaround" is not the best word. When the user pastes anything, they expect it to be pasted in a way that makes sense to them. Currently, there are two methods: Paste, which works only when the item is formatted perfectly, and Paste Special when it is not. What if LO Calc could identify when the user is trying to paste something that regular Paste can not handle elegantly, and automatically opened the Paste Special dialog box? What do you think? The mental model of the user is to Paste what is in the clipboard. It is unlikely they want to consider two different operations to perform the same task. That said, the current implementation of Paste Special works quite well in my testing, and is very flexible. I would categorize this as a Feature Request or Usability Bug; the functionality works as designed, but the design is questionable. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
