------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Apr 9 23:38:32 +0000 2008 ------- OOo 2.4.0 scalc has a great new feature where Alt-click + drag can be used to move rows or columns and insert rather than overwriting. Unfortunately the feature is useless under Linux running Gnome because the window manager preempts use of the Alt key for its own purposes (moving whole windows). Theoretically the wm can be reconfigured, but most users will stick with the default and so row/column moving will not work for them in OO. SUGGESTED SOLUTION: Provide modal access to "insert mode" which can be set/unset via a menu; when enabled, it is as if Alt is always pressed when doing drag-and-drop. Access to the Alt key is not needed. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
