Luke Kendall <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|NEEDINFO |UNCONFIRMED Ever confirmed|1 |0 --- Comment #6 from Luke Kendall <[email protected]> --- I just discovered the problem is worse than what I thought. I have a file where I compose tweets, sometimes paste tweets into it. The other day I replied to a tweet on Twitter and copied and pasted the tweet into the LO document. I didn't notice that it also copied 24 pages of hypertext after the tweet. I carried on adding an occasional tweet at what I thought was the end of the document. Why is this relevant? Well, when I selected all the unwanted HTML and tried to delete it: I couldn't. Once again I got the message "Write-protected content cannot be changed. No modifications will be accepted." So my problem is: how do I delete the unwanted matter? It looks to me like I'll have to create a new file, copy the material I want from around the unwanted addition, and then abandon the file. Not being permitted to delete an object seems an awful usability error to me. Perhaps there is some specific thing inside the 24 pages which I could delete - but as already noted, the error message is so vague as to be almost completely unhelpful. By pure luck I found that If I selected the entirem insertion, and chose Format Section, I found a Write Protection option (turned on) and so managed to turn it off. I thought that might allow me to delete it: it didn't. So I got more aggressive: in the Sections, I selected every section and chose the Remove option. That had some effect on the appearance; and after doing that, I was finally able to select the 24-page accidental insertion and delete it. This behaviour is currently a usability nightmare, if I'm being frank. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
