Description Steve Kelem 2024-07-08 18:57:19 UTC
Description:
When I cut and paste some cells, instead of copying the contents of the cells, it pastes an image of the cells! WTF?

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select cells with text, numbers, and formulae
2. Type ctrl-c to copy
3. select a different cell
4. Type ctrl-v to paste

Actual Results:
An image of the original cells is pasted.

Expected Results:
The software should have pasted a copy of the original cells, whether they were text, numbers, or formulae. The formulae should have been adjusted for row and column references, AS IT HAD BEEN DONE FOR DECADES! I DON'T NEED OR WANT AN IMAGE of the original cells!  It's now extra work to remember and to select the paste-special, and then whatever the option is to do the "right thing", as it had always done it in the past!
If someone had the brilliant idea to change the default workings of such a common function to a function that is rarely used or wanted, then there should be an option to have it work the way it used to.  I now have to go through and undo the "paste image" disasters, and try to put in the "correct" references.  Row and column sums are now broken!

Have you installed some clipboard manager?

Have you tested with Menu/Help/Restart in Safe Mode?

With paste special [Shif+Ctrl+V], what options do you have?

Clicking on the down-arrow at the right of paste icon, what options do you have?

Please paste here the information on Menu/Help/About LibreOffice (There is an icon to copy)
