Description ajev.removic 2019-09-17 09:43:26 UTC 
Description:
When I copy some region in Calc, that stars with rows or columns with empty cells, and/or that ends with rows or columns with empty cells, these rows/columns are not pasted to another program.

This behavior is that annoying, and causes that many errors in my work, that I'm forced to use MS Office on Linux only because of that.

Is this possible to solve this bug, finally? Are there any plans for it?

I saw many people complaining about it for a long period, but nothing. I'd really want to have that information, do you plan to solve it or not, so I can decide to completely switch away from LibreOffice.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select a region that contains empty rows and columns before and after a cell with some content.
2. Paste to text editor
3. Empty rows/columns are not pasted.

Actual Results:
No empty cells/rows pasted.

Expected Results:
Empty columns should be represented by a "tab" character and empty rows by a new line.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes
