------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue May 2 04:59:49 -0700 2006 ------- I had a problem similar to issue 21773, but then I came to know that it is closed as duplicate of issue 2977. When I visited issue 2977, I came to know that it is closed, and copied into a third issue 33851, which is supposed to be a superset of issue 2977. I see little resemblance in all 3 issues: In fact, the original statement of this issue (issue 33851) is centered around Autofiltering. But there are other ways of hiding rows (such as manual hiding or Consolidation of data); and this problem would be applicable there also. But apparently this issue does not mention those cases. The most generic description should have been "Unable to ignore contents of the hidden cells during copy AND paste". That would cover the effect of hidden cells in BOTH the source range and the destination range. **** Regading the handling of these issues, I have several observations: Issue 2977 had 59 votes. Issue 33851 has only 37. Once a visitor votes for an issue, he wouldn't keep a watch on it, and if that issue is copied into a new one (or closed as a duplicate), he is not likely to transfer his vote to the new issue. IssueZilla certainly does not do this automatically. So, assuming that these votes are mutually exclsive, issue 33851 should have 59+37=96 votes as on today; making this one of the top-ranking issue. Against that, we have a paltry 37 votes here! So, when copying an age-old issue into a new one, we spoil its ranking by splitting the votes. That also results in faking the age of the issue: Rather than being >4 years, the issue is now less than a year old! To top it all, we pretend that it is an enhancement issue, rather than a defect. That robs the remaining urgency out of the issue altogether, and allows us to put away the issue in mothballs for a few more YEARS to come! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
