Description terry.masters 2023-09-26 20:55:55 UTC
I created a CALC sheet to use as an annual calendar, nestled between several other sheets on one page (my terminology?).

I further create narrow bars (Insert, Shape, Basic Shapes, Rectangles) across several of my calendar's days to indicate multiday activities. (FWIW, these bars by no means cover up the majority of each of the cells they are in.)

I now seek to extract this one calendar sheet from the one page containing several sheets, so I try copying it and then pasting it to a new (empty) spreadsheet. It mostly works, but then I discover that the pasted sheet is missing just a very few of the aforementioned bars. (At least some of the few missing bars start at the very left margin, should that make any difference.) 

Note: sometimes I have right-clicked on a bar, then on Arrange, to bring the bar one or more steps "forward" or "backward," but I don't see how I can determine the original sheet's bar's position as to forward/backward (such that I could see if this position corresponds to the copy error - Ideas, anyone?).

Might there be any workarounds that would accurately copy 100% of my calendar? My calendar's historical accuracy is, for financial reasons, very important to me!

TIA for any help or suggestions!

Terry

P.S. This is my first ever Bugzilla report, so please tell me if there's a better way for me to do this :)

Please, details the steps on how you did the copy/paste.
Also, please paste here the information on Menu/Help/About LibreOffice (There is an icon to copy)

Version info: 

Version: 7.3.2.2 (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 49f2b1bff42cfccbd8f788c8dc32c1c309559be0
CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

For my copy/paste method prior to my bug report, I believe I tried two different ways. Regardless, I just now tried a third way, with the same problem happening (loss of only a few rectangular shapes, as described before). 

Here now is my third way: Using the Edit menu exclusively, I "Select All", then "Copy", and then open a new sheet. Again using the Edit menu, I "Paste" into the already-selected A1 cell.

The problem I've described reoccurs.
