Description Andrey 2018-11-18 21:29:13 UTC
Description:
If the cell B1 contains "=A1" value I can copy B1 to B2. And B2 will be "=A2". But if I continue copy it to the next cells (B3, B4, ...etc) - there will be the value of A2, but not "=Ax"(where 'x' is number of next cells - 3, 4, ...etc).
Shortly. It copies only first link value.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. In LO Calc open new spreadsheet.
2. Write 1 2 3 4 numbers in cells A1 A2 A3 A4
3. Set value of B1 to "=A1"
4. Set cursor to B1 and press Ctrl+C
5. Set cursor to B2 and press Ctrl+V
6. Set cursor to B3 and press Ctrl+V
7. Set cursor to B4 and press Ctrl+V
Then check the values of B2 B3 B4. Cell B2 will have "=A2" value, B3 B4 will have value "2", but not "=A3" and "=A4" accordingly.

I use Gentoo Linux, the bug is present.
I cannot reproduce this on MS Windows (Copy-Paste of "link cells" is working correctly in Windows build).

Actual Results:
It doesn't copy link, but copies the value of the last cell for all next cells.

Expected Results:
It should copy link, not the value.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes


OpenGL enabled: Yes

Given that two experienced triagers have not confirmed. I am setting this to WORKSFORME.

Andrey -

This can be moved back to UNCONFIRMED with the following additional information:
(1) Is this a regression compared to older versions?;
(2) Can you test daily build or at least beta of 6.2 to see if the problem still exists?
(3) Please provide two sample files:
-One with just A1-A4 and B1 filled in (through step 3)
-One with all values filled in (all steps provided)

Thank you!

Thanks for reply!

1. I can say nothing about that. I didn't use it before. In Gentoo repositories there's one prebuild version available at this time -> https://packages.gentoo.org/packages/app-office/libreoffice-bin
2. No, I can't untill it appears at Gentoo repositories. However, I have opened bug in our local bugzilla -> https://bugs.gentoo.org/671530 but nobody replied yet...
3. Done. See attachments Step3 and all-steps
Comment 6 Andrey 2018-11-30 16:07:40 UTC
The Problem is solved by fresh login (deleting all dot files/folders in ~).
So, not a bug.
Comment 7 Andrey 2018-11-30 16:23:46 UTC
Found the trick! KDE klipboard -> Options -> "Synchronize contents of the clipboards and the selection". When unchecked (default) it's all ok, else - the subj is.
When I copy with that option it selects cell value and the selection overwrites link with first copied value.
