Hi, I think I am misunderstanding some steps:
4) this is Ctrl+A right?
5) the text is still highlighted? I see a conflict between leaving the
text highlighted (in which case you can't move the cursor and the text
overwrites the original content) and clicking anywhere in the cell (in
which case the text is pasted to wherever the cursor sits)
Cheers

I'm experiencing a change in behavior. Is it a bug or by design?
Steps
1) Open a new Text Document in Writer
2) Insert a new Table (Ctrl+F12) with 1 row and 1 column
3) Type some text into the cell
4) Select the entire cell, not just the text within the cell, and Copy the cell
(Ctrl+C)
5) Move the cursor anywhere within the cell except for the first position and
Paste (Ctrl+V)
Results
In Writer 4.3.7.2-5.fc21, the paste from step 5 would completely replace the
contents of the cell with the contents from the clipboard.
In Writer 4.4.3.2-4.fc22, the paste from step 5 pastes another nested cell
within the first cell. I prefer the behavior from Writer 4.3, although I don't
know whether the new behavior in Writer 4.4 is by design.
Workarounds
Note that Writer 4.4 behaves like Writer 4.3 (i.e. the paste from step 5
completely replaces the contents of the cell with the contents of the
clipboard) if you move the cursor to the first position within the cell before
pasting. This is a reasonable workaround, although it could slow me down
somewhat.
Another workaround is to copy the text within the cell rather than copying the
entire cell and then highlighting the entire cell before pasting. Again, this
is a reasonable, though somewhat slower workaround.
Best regards,
Patrick
