--- Comment #12 from Jim Avera <jim.av...@gmail.com> --- > [pasting] multiple-cells content, eg. "1<tab>2<tab>3"? Doesn't the same thing happen if you type those 5 keystrokes instead of pasting them, i.e. a tab advances to the next cell? If not, what is the desired difference in behavior (between pasting multiple cells and typing 1<tab>2 etc.)? > What if the clipboard contains an image? What should happen, for the best user experience? Current behavior is anomalous: If you click once in a cell and paste an image, the image overlays any text in the cell, but the image is anchored *to the page* not to the cell so the image will move to cover random other cell(s) when row heights change; If you double-click to enter edit mode, then LO refuses to paste an image (Ctl-V does nothing). My first thought is that images should by default be treated like characters, so mixing characters and images can be done usefully: If in edit mode, then Ctl-V with an image in the cb would paste the image and anchor it to the preceding character, offset horizontally to start just after that character; if there is no preceding character then anchor to the cell at the upper-left corner. I don't understand why anchoring to the page is ever useful, but a user could always change the "Anchor" property after pasting if they wanted that. > What scenario makes it necessary to modify the pasted content (thinking of > the opposite where users definitely do not want to change the pasted data but > have to press escape to leave the edit mode)? I'm not sure I understand this question. I'm saying LO should *not* modify the pasted content (currently it does -- it *deletes* pasted content when something else is input). If a user pastes and then types backspace, then yes the pasted content should be modified; but in that case the user explicitly initiated the modification. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
