Package: openoffice.org-writer
Version: 1:3.3.0-8
Severity: normal
This is a regression in copying, it wasn'tt like this before.
Example: I have a document with the heading
"1.2 Multiprotocol label switching"
and want to copy that in order to paste it into another editor (LyX).
I select the text only (Multiprotocol label switching), press ctrl+c,
switch to the other editor, does a paste.
I expect to paste: "Multiprotocol label switching"
but I get: "1.2 Multiprotocol label switching"
The problem is that now I have to remove the numbers for every
heading I copy like this. Even though I took care to *not* select
the number! Earlier versions of openoffice did not have this problem,
so it is a regression.
Pasting into openoffice itself works, apparently openoffice knows
how to "discard" the unwanted number. But that should not be necessary.
Note that the number gets copied even if I only select part of the
heading. I.e. "Label" becomes "1.2 Label" This does not make sense.
Suggested fix: Do not copy the heading number onto the clipboard
when it isn't selected. Because the user clearly don't want it in
that case. (It is selectable by selecting from the previous line)
Even better: Don't copy the number, not even when all of the heading
is selected. Because:
* If the user pastes into openoffice, then OO will know that this
is a heading. And so OO can number it corrrectly. The copied
number is likely to be wrong.
* If the user pastes into another editor, then it likely has its
own scheme for numbering headers automatically. So the number from
OO is not wanted as raw text, and it is probably wrong anyway.
