no warning here, on Win7 and also not on openSUSE11.1 (same version of LO)
A1:B1  gets selected and copied..

This is the 'hard' way to copy the contents from A3 to A2, if i'm
right... ;)

This is because when you paste in your texteditor, it looks at the
clipboard for a piece of text, and not for a piece of spreadhsheet.
When you copy an image from somehwere, and try to paste it in your
text-editor, this will not work also..

But when pasting this selection in LO-Writer, i do thing that the
contents of these 2 cells should be pasted, just as it works when
copying/pasting A1:B1
