Any paste will force other cells in the column to be shifted down. The previous correct behavior was that a paste overwrote the cells' contents while leaving everything else alone. I have reported this to Ximian bugzilla, and they say they can replicate it in win32 but not in Linux. So, posting here as a possible issue with the Gentooized version of ximian-openoffice Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enter some random data in a column 2. Copy one of the cells 3. Paste it somewhere in the middle of the data 4. Watch as it pushes other cells down Actual Results: Forces cells below paste point to be shifted down and inserts the paste into the newly created blank cell Expected Results: Overwrite the contents of the cell at the paste point while leaving the others alone The original report posted on Ximian's bugzilla is here: http://bugzilla.ximian.com/show_bug.cgi?id=70604 $emerge info Portage 2.0.51-r8 (default-linux/x86/2004.3, gcc-3.4.3, glibc-2.3.4.20041102-r0, 2.6.9-gentoo-r9 i686) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.9-gentoo-r9 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) processor Gentoo Base System version 1.6.7 Python: dev-lang/python-2.3.4 [2.3.4 (#1, Nov 11 2004, 03:23:16)] distcc 2.18.2 i686-pc-linux-gnu (protocols 1 and 2) (default port 3632) [disabled] ccache version 2.3 [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.4 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.59-r6, 2.13 sys-devel/automake: 1.8.5-r2, 1.5, 1.4_p6, 1.6.3, 1.7.9, 1.9.3 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r2 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.10-r1 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.8.1-r1 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86 ~x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-march=athlon -O3" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/env /usr/kde/3.3/share/config /usr/kde/3.3/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/mozilla/defaults/pref /usr/share/config /usr/share/texmf/dvipdfm/config/ /usr/share/texmf/dvips/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/generic/config/ /usr/share/texmf/tex/platex/config/ /usr/share/texmf/xdvi/ /var/qmail/control" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon -O3" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoaddcvs autoconfig ccache distlocks sandbox sfperms" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp:///ftp-stud.fht-esslingen.de/pub/Mirrors/gentoo/ http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo http://open-systems.ufl.edu/mirrors/gentoo http://mirror.datapipe.net/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="3dnow 3dnowex X a52 acl acpi acpi4linux aim alsa apm atlas avi bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts blas bonobo cairo cddb cdparanoia cdr cdrom chroot clisp crypt cscope cups dio directfb divx4linux djbfft dnd dts dv dvd dvdr dvdread eds encode erandom evms2 evo exif f77 faac faad fam fastcgi fbcon ffmpeg fftw flac foomaticdb fortran freetype ftp gb gd gdbm gif gimp gimpprint ginac gnome gnomedb gnuplot gphoto2 gpm gsl gstreamer gtk gtk2 gtkhtml guile hal hbci hdf5 icq ieee1394 imagemagick imap imlib ipv6 irda jabber java javascript jikes joystick jpeg junit kde lcms libg++ libwww lirc lufsusermount mad maildir matroska mcal mikmod mime mmap mmx mmx2 mng motif mozilla mozsvg mp3 mpeg mpeg4 mpi mplayer mysql ncurses nls nptl nvidia odbc ofx oggvorbis openal opengl opie oss pam pcre pda pdf pdflib perl pic plotutils png posix postgres ppds python qt quicktime quotes readline real rtc samba scanner sdl shared sharedmem slang sndfile snortsam spamassassin spell sse ssl stroke svg svga tcltk tcpd tetex theora tiff transcode truetype truetype-fonts usb v4l v4l2 vnc wmf x86 xfs xine xinerama xml xml2 xmms xosd xprint xrandr xsl xv xvid xvmc zlib"
Could you please test 1.3.7 and see if that problem is still there? Cause I can't reproduce it and it could have been fixed in the last release (which also would explain, why it works on nld)
Closing, works for me and was a known upstream bug, please reopen if your problem persists
I recompiled 1.3.7 on both my laptop and desktop computer. (One is a pentium-m and the other an athlon) I still get this odd paste behavior on both machines. I also tried deleting my .xopenoffice directory hoping that it was some odd configuration setting leftover from 1.3.6, but no luck.
I removed the faulty patch from the buildset, so please emerge sync and try again (after a little time for the mirrors to catch up) Thanks for reporting, again. Closing.
Resynced and recompiled (on Jan 24) on two different machines but am still getting this error.
Could you please try 1.3.8 and see if the problem is still there?
Glad to report that 1.3.8 fixes this problem on both my home laptop and my work computer.
Ok, thanks for reporting back, closing again
