Quick suggestion for Calc re: switching sheets
I have a quick usability suggestion for Calc. Recently, I wanted to copy multiple non-sequential lines from one sheet, paste these into a new sheet, then go back and delete those lines from the original sheet. I noticed that when I navigate to the second sheet, paste those lines, then navigate back to the first sheet, my selections are deselected. So if I had selected 20 random lines, upon going back I would have no idea which ones I selected. The easiest way to resolve this would be to allow cutting of selected non-sequential lines, right now I get an error message when attempting that. The other way would be to simply retain the selected lines for the user when switching between sheets. It makes sense to use this as the default as all the user needs to do to deselect is click into any cell as usual, but save them the frustration of trying to sort out which lines were selected. Thank you, -- Josh Brunner
Re: REPORTING Windows 10 Upgrade Issues: BASIC SITUATION - Correction
[top posting] Thanks for taking the lead on tracking down the issues with Windows 10. It is rather critical that the actual "variety" of Windows 10 is noted in these reports. If you think it's important to have this kind of granularity documented in BZ as well, I'm sure we can make these changes there too. On 08/08/2015 11:11 AM, Dennis E.

OK, good.

This is good to know. I did a commit from /main, not from the top of the
branch really, but the svn diffs were the same either way, so I was
hoping this would produce the same results.

It worked, see
https://svn.apache.org/viewvc/openoffice/branches/AOO410/main/dbaccess/?pathrev=1695343
and you will see that in the mergeinfo list you have the revision you
actually merged.
If it doesn't work (i.e., you commit only the files but not the
directory), svn status will reported that the directory is changed ("U"
status) and you can commit it separately, even though it is only a
metadata commit.
Regards,
Andrea.
