Hi Tom
No, no issues elsewhere in Ubuntu Raring or Windows 7 with cut/copying
and pasting. I can even cut/copy and paste from a Calc individual cell,
see screenshots below (hope we can drop screenshots on emails to the
global mailing list)
But what used to be as I explained, seems to have been dropped or not
included as a feature from the top input line, this screenshot does not
show it but I am trying to right click in this input line space, the
result no drop down menu or option to cut/copy or paste. This used to be
available from the days of StarOffice, OOo, and if I am correct and
memory serves, the first versions of LO. And all version of MSO can do it.
Regards
Andrew Brown

Hi :)
I have had a few issues copypating lately. Not sure i can pin it
down to a single app or single OS.
Seems that nowadays if i copy something and then close the document i
copied it from then paste 'forgets' and goes back to the previous
thing i copied/cut. If i keep the document open then paste works just
fine.
Is your current and recent problem likely to be something similar?
Err, because there are 2 separate questions i tried to break this Calc
issue out into a separate thread by Forwarding this email back to
this mailing list. Reply to all hopefully works fine now.
Regards from
Tom :)

*Subject:* [libreoffice-users] Help with two issue I am finding in LO
Hi Everyone
Well this is now my turn to ask for some help, and to see if any
of you
have or are experiencing these issues. This applies to both my
Windows
version, and Ubuntu Raring versions of LO, so a common occurrence.
And
it has persisted since I migrated over to LO. Your responses will
assist
me before I send this as a bug report, missing feature.
In Calc, I cannot copy and paste any data content out of the input
line
at the top i.e. right click the mouse and copy using the now non
existent drop down menu. This goes for an existing spreadsheet or
creating a new one. In the past, not sure if it was early versions
of LO
Calc, or OOo Calc, but I could do this, no problems. I copy from a
lot
of pricelists and other similiar type spreadsheets, and paste into
order
sheets or directly into emails for my business, and I find now the
only
workaround is to highlight the content and Ctrl c to copy it, or
using
the menu Edit. This needs to be looked at and added as a
feature, or
returned as a feature. MS Office Excel has always allowed this as
well.
This next one is in Writer, and many of my clients have this issue as
well, and I feel this is a major failure or feature exclusion. Writer
cannot handle the copy and paste of multiple image files, such as
photos
etc, and then automatically space them one below the other. Many
of my
clients are in the field as motor vehicle assessors and take multiple
pictures of vehicle repairs (up to about twenty per vehicle), process
them to reduce their physical size, then paste them into a word
processor and compile into a PDF before emailing to the insurance
houses. MS Office can do this and has always done this with no issues
whatsoever, but LO Writer simply dumps the images one on top of the
other, with a lot of unnecessary work to have to drag and place each
image in order below the previous one. And this is not consistent,
sometimes Writer fails with a lot of photos (noticeably more than
five).
This lack of feature is now forcing many of my customers to return to
MSO, and I feel it needs to be addressed and fixed.
Regards
