Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 48637
Annoying behavior while editing filtered rows
Last modified: 2008-03-11 15:07:31 UTC
If you drag a value from one row to another to create copies when a row filter is active, this value will be copied to all rows between target and destination, regardless of the filter state. For example, my filter shows the rows 1, 2, 5, 10 and 100. If I grab a value from A1 to A100 while holding control, I expect that this value will be copied to A2, A5, A10 and A100 but OO overrides all values from A1 to A100 with the value of A1. If you drag it a little bit lower, it will override all rows from A2 to A65536 with a copy of A1. The only feedback to the user that he/she is about to modify all these rows, even the invisible ones, is a small tooltip that appears near to the mouse pointer. The same effect occurs with auto increment operations. Since OO is a WYSIWYG app., it is natural that only the visible things are affected by any visual operation unless stated otherwise.
As this issue is related to Issue 33851 I set this one as double to it. Frank *** This issue has been marked as a duplicate of 33851 ***
