Description Kim 2012-12-30 13:16:43 UTC
Problem description: 

It is very time consuming copying and inserting lines .

Steps to reproduce:
1. construct a typical line item spreadsheet ,
2. within the line item area create a line item - a regular purchase - eg. lunch or dinner .
3. make 20 copies of that line item - inserting them - eg. between line items above and below .

Current behavior:

20 operations of :-
1) highlight and copy the line item .
2) paste special and insert .

Expected behavior:

Multiple lines should be able to be copied and inserted . The whole operation should be much quicker than it is .

Operating System: Windows XP
Version: 3.5.7.2 release

I am not sure if I understand your problem correctly, however:

to insert multiple empty rows in calc, I can select the number of rows (e.g. click and drag from "1" to "10" in the bar on the left side of the screen), then select "insert->rows" to insert 10 empty rows at that position, moving the rest of the content downward

to fill the lines with the same content as an existing line I can select a single row (click on it on the left side of the screen) copy that, then select the empty rows and insert it in all rows in one step or simply select the fields I want to copy, then drag the handle in the bottom-right corner of the selection downwards

Not a valid bug report, I have no idea what reporter thinks what "a typical lline item" is and what reporter's problem might be.

@reporter:
Thank you for your report – unfortunately important information is missing.
May be hints on <http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport> will help you to find out what information will be useful to reproduce your problem? If you believe that that  is really sophisticated please as for Help on a user mailing list
Please:
- Write a meaningful Summary describing exactly what the problem is
- Attach a sample document (not only screenshot) or refer to an existing 
  sample document in an other Bug with a link; to attach a file to this 
  bug report, just click on "Add an attachment" right on this page.
- Attach screenshots with comments if you believe that that might explain the 
  problem better than a text comment. Best way is to insert your screenshots
  into a DRAW document and to add comments that explain what you want to show
  (attachment 68877 [details], attachment 68490 [details])
- Contribute a document related step by step instruction containing every 
  key press and every mouse click how to reproduce your problem 
  (similar to example in Bug 43431)
– if possible contribute an instruction how to create a sample document 
  from the scratch
- add information 
  -- what EXACTLY is unexpected
  -- and WHY do you believe it's unexpected (cite Help or Documentation!)
  -- concerning your PC 
  -- concerning your OS (Version, Distribution, Language)
  -- concerning your localization (UI language, Locale setting)
  –- Libo settings that might be related to your problems
  -- how you launch LibO and how you opened the sample document
  –- Whether your problem persists when you renamed your user profile 
     before you launch LibO (please see
     <https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile#User_profile_location>)
  –- If you can contribute an AOOo Issue that might be useful
  -- everything else crossing your mind after you read linked texts

Even if you can not provide all demanded information, every little new information might bring the breakthrough.

May be you want to test <https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/bug/> for submitting bug reports? You reach that Bug Submission Assistant via LibO menu 'Help -> Feedback / Bug Report'. The assistant will collect and insert such information automatically.

May be you can test <http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport_Details> for submitting bug reports? 

Please submit Bug reports with status UNCONFIRMED if your are not absolutely sure that you contributed all required background information, that the problem will be reproducible with information you can provide or that your enhancement request will be accepted! Thank you!
