Follow-up testing and results: - After pasting text from one cell to one or more other cells, putting the Writer program in background, copying a word from a different place and pasting it in Writer (cells are still selected) will result in the new text being put AFTER the existing one and not replacing it as it would be expected ===> Wrong behavior - After pasting text from one cell to one or more other cells, using the Cut feature CTRL + X will result in no text deletion ===> Wrong behavior ===> however, the cells Cut were correctly copied ===> Expected - After pasting text from one cell to one or more other cells, while cells are still selecting, pasting again will result in the text being added a second time ===> Probably a wrong behavior (?) Quick tests with different products and results: - Google Docs - Issue does not reproduce, the deletion being successful with Delete and Backspace buttons - Microsoft office - Different behavior, Cells not remaining selected after CTRL + V action, but deletion is successful at all times when selecting cells - Apache OpenOffice - same issue is reproducing there under the same steps.

Additional follow-up testing on success cases: - After pasting text from one cell to one or more other cells, reselecting the cells and using the Delete button will result in successful deletion of cell content ===> Expected - After pasting text from one cell to one or more other cells, using the Backspace button on selected cells will result in successful deletion of cell content ===> Expected, this is the workaround I presented above - After pasting text from one cell to one or more other cells of different rows, using the CTRL + Shit + Delete command (delete row of selected cell) will result in successful deletion of the rows selected ===> Expected

Extrange. But this "feature" don't dislike me. Could it be a possibility? Must be documented. Ups! But it don't work if the new source text is from the same document. 2. > - After pasting text from one cell to one or more other cells, using the Cut > feature CTRL + X will result in no text deletion ===> Wrong behavior ===> > however, the cells Cut were correctly copied ===> Expected Ctrl + X works here. 3. > - After pasting text from one cell to one or more other cells, while cells > are still selecting, pasting again will result in the text being added a > second time ===> Probably a wrong behavior (?) I can confirm here. But won't work if the source text is the whole cell. Related to *1*.
