I do reproduce. I can also paste with and without skipping in the same time. 1. Copy data: a;b;c d;; g;h;i 2. Paste Unformatted text without option "Skip empty cell" (with semi colon as separator) Actual behavior: Cell below "b" is correctly empty (it was erased) Cell below "c" is skipped and its content is preserved Expected behavior: Cells below "b" and "c" should be erased.
The bug seems older, as for versions previous 6.1 there was no option, and behavior was the same as without checking "Skip empty cells". I reproduce with Version: 6.0.2.1 (x64) Build ID: f7f06a8f319e4b62f9bc5095aa112a65d2f3ac89 CPU threads: 2; OS: Windows 6.1; UI render: default; Locale: fr-FR (fr_FR); Calc: CL till version 5.3 In Version: 5.2.7.2 (x64) Build ID: 2b7f1e640c46ceb28adf43ee075a6e8b8439ed10 Threads CPU : 2; Version de l'OS :Windows 6.1; UI Render : par défaut; Locale : fr-FR (fr_FR); Calc: CL the behavior is similar as if "Skip empty" option is on.
I do reproduce on: Version: 6.4.6.2 (x64) Build ID: 0ce51a4fd21bff07a5c061082cc82c5ed232f115 CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 17763; UI render: default; VCL: win; Locale: it-IT (it_IT); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded I had a similar issue in production, so I tried to isolate the problem. In my experience, the paste unformatted text command works properly when the "skip empty cells" is selected. On the other side, when the "skip empty cells" is NOT selected, the bug arises only when the source range contains an empty value at the END of a row. Such empty value at the end of the source row does not overwrite the corresponding destination cell in CALC. . Initial CALC destination range (the one to overwrite) a | B c | d . Source comma-separated range 1, 3,4 Actual result of paste special unformatted text w/o "skip empty cells" 1 | b 3 | 4 Expected result: 1 | 3 | 4 I think that the steps to reproduce initially provided by NISZ LibreOffice Team could fit in this new explanation because the empty cell B3 in the source column-range B1:B4 might be considered as an empty cell at the end of the row 3.

Dear NISZ LibreOffice Team, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year. There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed.

(In reply to Laurent Balland from comment #15) > *** Bug 158297 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** FWIW, from bug 158297, the behavior is seen since LO 5.3.0.3, but different in LO 5.2. The reasons might be different in LO 5.3 and in 5.4 in comparison to LO 6.1 (the Version field ATM in this bug 129701).
This bug should have a higher priority IMO. The user has no clue nor way to know that the resulting data is incorrect, which is the same as to say that there is DATA LOSS! I am tempted to add dataLoss to the Keywords field of this report.
The bug occurs only with columns separated by separators and NOT with fixed width. If I correctly understood: In bool ScImportExport::ExtText2Doc( SvStream& rStrm ) [1], the while loop for the columns [2] ends when there is nothing to paste, even if it is the last column, so the last empty column is not treated if it is empty. And if user pastes only 1 column, empty cells are not treated.
