I'm running a new install of ver. 3.5.1.2 on Kubuntu 11.10. It appears
that the "paste-special" function, which I use constantly, no longer
works like it used to, and this is a major annoyance.
Old, expected behavior:
1. I copy an entire row in a spreadsheet into the system clipboard.
2. I select a number of cells in a column, at another location (or even
adjacent to the row copied), to indicate the rows I want to paste the
copied row into.
3. I right click on the selected cells, then click the "paste special"
item in the popup menu, then the "shift cells down" parameter in the
next popup window.
RESULT: the selected rows indicated by the selected cells are pushed
down, and their vacated space is filled with copies of the originally
copied row.
New, disturbing behavior:
1. I copy an entire row in a spreadsheet into the system clipboard.
2. I select a number of cells in a column, at another location (or even
adjacent to the row copied), to indicate the rows I want to paste the
copied row into.
3. I right click on the selected cells, and the popup menu simply does
not contain a paste special item to select. Trying instead the
Edit>Paste special menu item or Ctrl+Shift+v does absolutely nothing.
Doing a paste-special into a single row works find. Multiple rows is not
a possibility.
The workaround: First insert blank rows (which achieves the desired
push-down of existing rows), then just do a multiple row standard paste
into them. The problem: this is a more involved, less direct process.
Is paste-special broken in this version of LO, or is this the new way
it's to be done?
Thanks for any thoughts...
