davidpbrown, good catch on deleting the space removes the last character! Since this bug has enough information provided for a developer to begin work, I'm going to mark it as Triaged and let them handle it from here. Thanks for taking the time to make Ubuntu better!
** Changed in: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: libreoffice (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Triaged ** Description changed: Binary package hint: openoffice.org - If one cell contains a formula ="test" and that cell is then copied and - the content pasted into the 'input line' bar, so that the value only is - pasted, there is then a white space apparent in the 'input line' bar. + 1) lsb_release -rd + Description: Ubuntu 11.04 + Release: 11.04 - That whitespace doesn't disappear on exit+reentry to the cell and when - it's deleted, rather than remove whitespace, results in the last - character from the real cell's content being removed rather than any - whitespace that the input bar suggests is there. This isn't obvious - until you exit+reenter the cell and find the content truncated. + 2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer + libreoffice-writer: + Installed: 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5 + Candidate: 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5 + Version table: + *** 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5 0 + 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty-updates/main i386 Packages + 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status + 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu4 0 + 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ natty/main i386 Packages - This seen in 3.0.1 Build:9379 + 3) What is expected to happen is if one copies a cell containing "test", + and paste it into the 'input line' bar, just test is pasted. + + 4) What happens instead is that a space is appended to the end of test. + If one backspaces or deletes the space, the last character is deleted. + + WORKAROUND: Paste into the desired cell directly, not the Input Line. + + Original Reporter Comments: This seen in OOo 3.0.1 Build:9379 ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 8.10 NonfreeKernelModules: ndas_core nvidia Package: openoffice.org-core 1:3.0.1-7ubuntu1~intrepid1 ProcEnviron: - PATH=/usr/lib/openoffice/program:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games - LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 - SHELL=/bin/bash + PATH=/usr/lib/openoffice/program:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games + LANG=en_GB.UTF-8 + SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: openoffice.org Uname: Linux 2.6.27-11-generic i686 UnreportableReason: This is not a genuine Ubuntu package ** Tags added: lo33 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/347453 Title: [upstream] Calc Input bar error looses last character of pasted content -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
