From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.2) Gecko/20010809 Description of problem: Try cutting a cell from a spread sheet and then pasting the clipboard contents again. It wont work. the cutted cell contents isnt stored in the clipboard. The cell contents is lost. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.enter text into a cell 2.cut the text 3.try to paste it Actual Results: cell contents is lost. (Undo doesnt work either) Expected Results: the cutted cell contents should be pasted. Additional info: There are several other gnumeric bugs which seem to be fixed in later gnumeric releases (from reading the ChangeLog). So it is probably a good idea to upgrade the Raw Hide release from 0.67 to 0.70.
Do you know if this particular bug is fixed in later versions? We won't be doing an upgrade of gnumeric right at the moment (QA constraints, etc.) but it would be good to know if this needs to be reported upstream or not.
I just created a quick'n dirty gnumeric-0.70 binary rpm and tested it: The problem is still there. It even became worse because the cut command doesn't even erase the cell(s) anymore.
I've also filed the bug report in the GNOME Bug Tracker. Bug #60000. :-)
Actually this bug is fixed in gnumeric 0.68. We had a number of people that submitted it to gnome bugzilla and the bug has been resolved and closed there for a few months. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=57118 http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60000
There are now gnumeric-1.0 packages in rawhide and in ftp://people.redhat.com/hp/gnomehide that should have the upstream fixes.
