[libreoffice-users] Re: Split "Move/Copy Sheet" item in sheet tab menu

The change might be ok, but in which way does that solve your problem? 
The target is overwritten in any case. Well yes, if you think you still 
are keeping the source and overwrite the target once more, then there is 
a difference. I have not seen it being a problem, but am not against the 
change. /Kaj
