Description:
While studying the use of databases inside Calc spreadsheets, I came across
these instructions on the official documentation regarding inserting fields
from a database for viewing individual records:
"You can also drag the data source column headings (field names) onto your
spreadsheet to create a form for viewing and editing individual records one at
a time. Follow these steps:
1) Drag and drop the gray box at the top of the column (containing the field
name you wish to use) to where you want the record to appear in the spreadsheet
..."

The problem is... it doesn't work!
On dragging the box, the mouse cursor changes to the usual "insert" icon, but
on dropping on any cell on a spreadsheet, noting happens!
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Ctrl+Shift+F4 to open the data sources panel (View > Data Sources)
2.Expand Bibliography (the default included database), tables and select the
"biblio" table
3.From the panel's right side, drag any column header to any cell on the
spreadsheet below.
Actual Results:
Nothing happens.
Expected Results:
As per the documentation, the corresponding field from the first record should
appear.
Reproducible: Always
