--- Comment #6 from Yousuf (Jay) Philips <philip...@hotmail.com> --- (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #4) > You know where the pasted content comes from, perhaps to move it back > without undo. I would assume the content disappearing from that location is more than sufficient indication where the content moved from. We dont have any particular indication of where content moved from in writer. > I have to admit that my arguments are dragged in by head and > shoulders. But what is the advantage of clearing the marque? The first advantage would be that users wouldnt have to press Escape to disable it. Secondly the behaviour would mimic all other apps that have marque. > Users know what > it means, so the confusion reduces to inconsistency in the state. And I'm > not sure that this is true. Yes users can understand its meaning when they copy and cut, primarily when they cut as the contents arent actually being cut out of the sheet until you paste, unlike other apps where when you cut the contents do disappear. But once you've pasted, especially when you cut, it has very little meaning and users seeing the marque would assume that the action isn't completed. (In reply to Cor Nouws from comment #5) > Talking about 'head and shoulders': this behaviour is here since 2011 or so. > And can hardly be missed. So if it is nasty, people would have complained. > Or did I miss that? Well as a new user to Calc in 2014/2015 when i worked on the user stats, it was a major annoyance to me that i never reported and stuck with pressing Esc each time. Came to mind again today when someone else brought it up. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
