Re: Calc copy&paste Fw: [libreoffice-users] Help with two issue I am finding in LO

Hi Tom

No, no issues elsewhere in Ubuntu Raring or Windows 7 with cut/copying 
and pasting. I can even cut/copy and paste from a Calc individual cell, 
see screenshots below (hope we can drop screenshots on emails to the 
global mailing list)



But what used to be as I explained, seems to have been dropped or not 
included as a feature from the top input line, this screenshot does not 
show it but I am trying to right click in this input line space, the 
result no drop down menu or option to cut/copy or paste. This used to be 
available from the days of StarOffice, OOo, and if I am correct and 
memory serves, the first versions of LO. And all version of MSO can do it.



Regards

Andrew Brown
