Description baril_mathieu 2016-01-01 21:41:21 UTC
When copying one sheet to an other workbook, the following settings (at a minimum) are NOT transferred:

- Format/Page.../margings
- Format/Page.../Orientations
- Toggle grid lines for current sheet
- Print range

If copying multiple sheets, (not sure exactly when) could get the following cases:

1. Both sheets lost the above formatting
2. Only 1 sheet lost above formatting but the sheet before and/or after insert point loose above formatting. Using CTRL-Z will remove the inserted pages but will not revert corrupted sheets

Reproducible with LO 5.1.0.1, Win 8.1

If you copy the sheet to a new sheet within the same workbook then the format settings are copied.  But if you copy it to a new workbook then they are not copied.

I see the reported problem both in Linux daily dbgutil repository
version 2016-01-02 and LibreOffice 3.5.4.2 as delivered with
debian-wheezy.  I am setting version "3.5.4 release" and keyword
notBibisectable.

I notice that the paper format *is* copied into the new workbook.
This lends support to the idea that the reported bdhavior is a bug.

I have been looking into this and tracked down the actual function where the move is done to "sc/source/ui/view/viewfun2.cxx", in function "MoveTable".

See https://opengrok.libreoffice.org/xref/core/sc/source/ui/view/viewfun2.cxx#2647

No clue yet as to what do in there to copy the page formatting though... :)

This can only be an enhancement to have an option, not the change that would force it. So I retitle, in accordance with comment 1.
