Description ayla.alhollandiyah 2022-08-26 11:04:30 UTC
Description:
I recently updated from Libre 7.2.7 to 7.3.5.2, and I noticed a change in the behavior of 'Paste Special'. In the older version if I choose the option 'Format Only' the next time I use past special it will stick to what I set it to, being format only and whatever options I would set beside that. In this version if I use Paste Special again it will default back to 'Values Only' erasing not only the 'Format Only' but also any extra options that I have set. I think this is a bug and it should remember the settings you picked, so you don't have to keep setting it up every paste afterwards.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Use Paste Special with 'Format Only'
2. Use Paste Special again and click OK immediately

Actual Results:
The second paste resulted in the default options of 'values only'

Expected Results:
The second paste should result in the same settings you picked on the first paste.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Comment 2 ayla.alhollandiyah 2022-08-27 08:49:08 UTC
I am sorry, I made a mistake in my steps to reproduce. I said at step 2 to press OK, but that works as expected, like the other comment said. The problem is actually when you press enter instead of OK. In the old version that had the exact same effect as OK, but in this version if you press ctrl-shift-C again it preselects "Values Only" with a blue border, and if you then press enter it takes that button for input instead of the OK button with the settings from before.

I can reproduce when using Enter to apply the Paste Special for the second time. The issue is that the dialog does not remember the previously used preset.

Maybe we could save and restore the previously used preset in the document.

This is not a bug per se, but an enhancement request.

This has been implemented recently and is available in nightly builds.
