Hi- re: Libreoffice 25.2.4 fail copying an existing anchored text box then pasting to another cell. used both right-click "copy" & "paste" and the control C & V options. Do this all the time in 28.8.4 & prior versions without a problem. Doing the copy thing seems normal, put pasting fails. Nothing pastes, just the cell you want to paste into appears to be selected. Thanks
Oof, correction. Have done this all the time in version 24.8.4 & prior.
Doing the copy thing seems normal, BUT pasting fails. Nothing pastes, just the cell you want to paste into appears to be selected. wow - what happened to my typing. Um, let's blame voice to text.
Confirmed, sort of. To select for copy & paste the draw text frame, or another draw shape, in scalc we *now* have to explicitly enter the draw object's edit mode. Object selection by l-mouse Click does not get us there, it used to. Draw object is selected but into its text mode, and copy & paste as the object fails. We now have to expose the 'Drawing' tool bar, and use its 'Select' button, UI will context shift into the draw shape mode--SB deck reflects the draw shape properties *and* the 'Drawing object properties' toolbar will activate. But, I think this was done intentionally? See also bug 167386 [1], where to expose the draw shape text edit controls the shell got tweaked. @Blazas, @Xisco something more needed for copy & paste of draw objects in calc? =-ref-= [1] https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/185031 Version: 25.2.4.3 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 33e196637044ead23f5c3226cde09b47731f7e27 CPU threads: 28; OS: Windows 11 X86_64 (10.0 build 26100); UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US Calc: CL threaded

This seems to have been fixed by the following commit. It should probably be backported to 25.2.
