[Libreoffice-bugs] [Bug 135392] Paste from AOO to CALC overwriting cells with data fails to give warning
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135392 --- Comment #7 from Dale Eltoft --- I installed the latest version 7.3.5 To recreate the problem I 1) opened a new spreadsheet and 2) populated several cells with random numbers. 3) I selected a cell with a number in it and clicked "Copy" 4) Selected another cell with a number in it and clicked "Paste" **This resulted in a warning message indicating I was about to paste over existing content which I believe is the correct result. After cancelling that paste I 6) opened Windows Notepad 7) I typed in a random number and selected it. 8) clicked "Copy" 9) Shifted focus to the spreadsheet and selected the same cell a in #4 above 10) then clicked "Paste" **This resulted in the data from Notepad being entered into the cell with no warning which seems to me to be a problem. In my past experience the source of the data doesn't matter as long as it is not from another LibreOffice app. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

It is particularly telling that a paste from another LibreOffice app even fails. It indicates that the problem is not, as I first assumed, a result of copying data from an outside app. My bad. I should have investigated in more depth. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

You are assuming the problem is in LibreOffice while it might be in AOO's side. OTOH, take into account LibreOffice and AOO took different pathes 10 years ago and at this point in time they are quite different internally even if they still look alike. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=135392 --- Comment #2 from Dale Eltoft --- By converting I mean I personally am changing over from the AOO software to the LOO. As a consequence I have discovered several things I wish to upgrade so the process is not as simple as opening the same file with LOO. Regardless of my motivation for doing a copy-paste, I believe this is still a flaw in the implementation. Under all circumstances if a paste action will cause the destruction of any data present in any cell then the user must be warned. The Calc General Option reads "Show overwrite warning when pasting data". There are no qualifications or exceptions listed. It is unambiguous. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

Just save the file as ods and open it with LibreOffice. Why do you need to copy from AOO to LibreOffice ? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
