--- Comment #4 from [email protected] ---
Is this is like the intentional bug I reported in which copying a range
containing values, dates, text and formulas and pasting only numbers, text or
dates over itself cleared all the cells that did not contain the selected
content type? I couldn't think of and no-one could give me a valid use for such
a behavior. Looking back over almost 30 years of using spreadsheets for
engineering and financial work, I cannot think of a single use for a "copy
comment" option that would also change or clear the contents of the destination
cell. Why check only "Paste Comments", unless that's all you want to paste?

If a cell comment is part of the cell contents, then there is no sense in
having paste content (value or formula) and paste comment as separate options
of a paste function. Either the option has a bug because it doesn't do what
it's supposed to do (copy only the comment), or the option is misnamed (it
doesn't just copy the comment) and should be renamed (copy comment and clear
contents) or removed as redundant.

If the feature is renamed "Copy Comment & Clear Contents", I might someday
submit a request to add Copy Comment...after MOD() and DATE() are fixed. Until
then, I can't risk using Libre-Office Calc for real computing (and since I
discovered those problems, I have experienced the program randomly closing
without warning).
