Description peebhat 2006-04-13 15:02:01 UTC 
'delete' doesn't erase content of a cell directly, has to go through an annoying 
dialog box.

If one compares the same feature in MS office, there are two separate menu 
commands,where 'delete' erases no questions asked,'delete...'(or maybe,'clear...
') erases partial content on chosen options.

Somewhere around OOo 1.1.x this feature worked exactly like MS Office,'delete' 
erasing directly.

you can use backspace to delete directly; otherwise according to

I reassign this issue to requirements and set the status to New

It would be more correct to set direct deletion on 'delete' button and may be 
the present dialog to backspace, fo two reasons,

1] 'delete' button is instinctive for deletion

2] for MSO compatibility
