------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Dec 10 07:14:55 +0000 2007 ------- Sub: Copy while whole column selected should trim trailing cells When user select whole column and do a copy (I used Ctrl+C) Calc now copy 65537 lines to clipboard, even though all the cells after first few rows are empty. MS-Excel (tested on Excel 2003) will stop copy after last "non-empty row + 1" This difference in behavior is also there when we do whole row select. Current OOo Calc behavior is dangerous, if user do Edit > Paste Special > Unformated text Can we make Calc behave like the Excel way? Also I want to mention, when all the cells in current selection are either in single row or in single column MS-Excel do this trimming. I dont know whether that is good. As it is different from the way MS-Excel do copy when an area with cells from multiple column and multiple row is selected. ie, an area selection in MS-Excel copies all cells including empty cells. Steps:- ** On MS-Excel 1. Open MS-Excel 2. Fill A1:B10 with some text 3. Select whole column A and B 4. copy using ctrl+c 5. Go to Notepad 6. Do Paste 7. See result with 11 lines 8. Open MS-Word 9. Do Paste 10. See result with a table with 11 lines ** On OOo Calc ** repeat same by 1. Open OOo Calc 2. Fill A1:B10 with some text 3. Select whole column A and B 4. copy using ctrl+c 5. Go to Notepad 6. Do Paste 7. See pasted contents with 65537 lines 8. Open OOo Writer 9. Do Paste Special > UnFormatted Text 10. See system HANGS!!!, ie, waiting for converting 65537 lines --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
