Description kdebug 2013-02-25 02:19:44 UTC 
I originally submitted this under 42265 a bit over a year ago (I'm sure it's been around much longer than that), which was marked as duplicate of 56098, which is now marked Resolved.

I don't know what that means in these parts, but I just installed libreoffice 4.0.3 and the problem is right there. I've been enduring it for over a year and it's very frustrating.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Select an entire row (or column).
2. Hit ctrl-x or right-click selection and click on "cut.
3. Right-click on the row (or column) before which you wish to insert what you just cut.
4. Select Paste Special from the context menu. If you cut an entire row, the only option for shifting existing data is RIGHT (absurd for paste-inserting a row) or DOWN, if you happened to have cut a column.

If you have any additional questions so I can help diagnose and solve this problem once and for all, please visit alexwieder.com to send me a message.

Thanks!!!

Alex

The target is 4.1 so you should see this fixed in 4.1.

If you want it to be back ported, please leave a request on the bug marked RESOLVED and see if the developer will back port it - this sometimes is done, other times it is not to avoid regressions and allow for further testing.

Marking this as a duplicate again.

Also just a heads up, Critical is applied for data loss or crashes, this is a regular bug (normal) - just for future reference
