Description Szczepan Hołyszewski 2019-02-20 16:34:55 UTC 
Description:
It does not seem possible to select a range and simply copy its values as plain tab-delimited text.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select a range of cells
2. Press Ctrl+C
3. Launch a plaintext editor like kwrite
4. Try pasting with Ctrl+V

Actual Results:
Nothing gets pasted

Expected Results:
SOME sensible representation of the values from the selected range should be pasted; tab-separated cell values in separate lines would be the most intuitive.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Original reporter here, not reproducing in 6.2.1 either. Seems fixed. Closing.
