Description Harald Koester 2013-11-11 14:50:55 UTC
Problem description: 

Steps to reproduce:
[1] Open a new text document.
[2] Type in a word, then Enter.
[3] Type in another word and mark this word. 
[4] Insert a section within the marked word and protect the section. 
[5] Now you can delete the word in the first line, but not the line as a whole (paragraph break).

Expected behaviour: With “Del“ it should be possible to delete the paragraph above the section.

Hint: The behaviour is equal, if the option “LibreOffice Writer → Formatting Aids → Cursor in protected areas“ is enabled or not.
              
Operating System: Windows 7
Version: 4.1.2.3 release
Comment 1 Robert Großkopf 2013-11-11 17:01:55 UTC
I have tested this. You could only delete the last break above the section, when you don't protect the section.
It's the same behavior in LO 3.0.0. beta1, so I set the first version as Inherited from OOo. It's also the same in LO 4.2.0.0 from 2013-11-07.
I have tested with OpenSuSE 12.3 64bit Linux. So I set the platform to all.

test from MSO

I think that this should've been evaluated first (DevEval), is it possible.
MSO seems to have similar behavior, can't delete line above protected section.
I set as WontFix.
Should someone disagree, please explain.
