--- Comment #7 from jollytall <jollyt...@freemail.hu> --- I never had a problem with the object being copied, and I did not comment on it. I do not think we should make users unhappy. I had two issues: - The original was that if an object is considered part of a sheet or attached to some cells, then it should be treated consistently, i.e. if I select it, it should also be deleted with Del. I do not see why Cut should be different than Del. - In your quoted sentence I just replied to your comment that selecting cells does not select the object, while actually selecting enough cells, selects the object as well. My issue here was again not the fact that it can be copied, but that it cannot be deleted the same way. That led me to the thought that it would be logic to see when the object is selected and when it is not. Thinking more on it, this highlights why the current working is inconsistent. Imagine that a selection is always clearly visible (orange dots or animated dashes), what probably would be good anyway. What would we see now when Ctrl-A? This is one step and should only have one result, either or: Option 1. If the object is marked selected (so it should be selected!) then why it is not deleted when I press Del? Option 2. If the object is not marked selected (so it surely is not selected) then why is it Cut, Copied, when I press Ctrl-X or Ctrl-C? I still think that there should be one answer. I personally do not have a preference, whether Option 1 or 2 is better, but I think it should be marked on the object. If it were marked then the user could also easily add the object to the selection (in case of Option 2) with a Ctrl-Click or similarly could remove it (Option 1) before Del, Ctrl-X, Ctrl-C. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
