Hi :)
I think that is the 'problem' isn't it?  Like i said it works out fine for me because i quite like 
that way but i can easily understand that people might prefer something different!
Regards from 
Tom :)

Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Help with two issue I am finding in LO


Hi Andrew,

I just had a look at the writer issue. Keeping it simple I downloaded 2 
images from the web into my downloads folder.

I opened a new writer document, went to my file browser and selected 
both images (FWIW a jpg & a gif). When I pasted into writer the 2nd 
image was pasted on top of the first. Is that what you see? I expected 
to see the images separated in some way.

Cheers

Hi Tim

Ok, at least I have a comrade with the same observation and non 
function. Yes I am aware of the cell right click, but I suppose force 
of continuous habit on my behalf in using this in the input line, and 
a family raised from school level on MSO, as well as my wife very 
proficient in MSO, all pointed this out to me. So I find it not 
sufficient to leave it out, as I said it works in other versions of 
spreadsheet programs, so why not LO.

Have you tried the Writer issue I have, with pasting multiple images 
into it, try it. Another program non-feature/problem that needs to be 
fixed.

Thanks for the feedback.

Hi Andrew,

I agree regarding the calc issue. I tried this on 4.0.4.2 under 
Fedora and 4.0.0.3 portable under Windows. Neither allow you to right 
click on the input line. As you noted, CTRL-C works. So, I cranked up 
LO3.6.2.2 under XP. Same.

The only thing I noticed is that you can right click on the cell 
itself. No need to go up to the input line. I wonder if this is 
deemed to be sufficient.

Cheers

Hi Everyone

Well this is now my turn to ask for some help, and to see if any of 
you have or are experiencing these issues. This applies to both my 
Windows version, and Ubuntu Raring versions of LO, so a common 
occurrence. And it has persisted since I migrated over to LO. Your 
responses will assist me before I send this as a bug report, missing 
feature.

In Calc, I cannot copy and paste any data content out of the input 
line at the top i.e. right click the mouse and copy using the now 
non existent drop down menu. This goes for an existing spreadsheet 
or creating a new one. In the past, not sure if it was early 
versions of LO Calc, or OOo Calc, but I could do this, no problems. 
I copy from a lot of pricelists and other similiar type 
spreadsheets, and paste into order sheets or directly into emails 
for my business, and I find now the only workaround is to highlight 
the content and Ctrl c to copy it, or using the menu "Edit". This 
needs to be looked at and added as a feature, or returned as a 
feature. MS Office Excel has always allowed this as well.

This next one is in Writer, and many of my clients have this issue 
as well, and I feel this is a major failure or feature exclusion. 
Writer cannot handle the copy and paste of multiple image files, 
such as photos etc, and then automatically space them one below the 
other. Many of my clients are in the field as motor vehicle 
assessors and take multiple pictures of vehicle repairs (up to about 
twenty per vehicle), process them to reduce their physical size, 
then paste them into a word processor and compile into a PDF before 
emailing to the insurance houses. MS Office can do this and has 
always done this with no issues whatsoever, but LO Writer simply 
dumps the images one on top of the other, with a lot of unnecessary 
work to have to drag and place each image in order below the 
previous one. And this is not consistent, sometimes Writer fails 
with a lot of photos (noticeably more than five). This lack of 
feature is now forcing many of my customers to return to MSO, and I 
feel it needs to be addressed and fixed.

Regards
