Since my screenshot didn't make it through, just know that I selected the entire cell by going to
the Table menu and choosing Select-->Cell

In an effort to reduce confusion, I'm attaching a screenshot. Please note the highlighted cell.

Hi, I think I am misunderstanding some steps:
4) this is Ctrl+A right?
5) the text is still highlighted? I see a conflict between leaving the
text highlighted (in which case you can't move the cursor and the text
overwrites the original content) and clicking anywhere in the cell (in
which case the text is pasted to wherever the cursor sits)
Cheers

I'm experiencing a change in behavior. Is it a bug or by design?
Steps
1) Open a new Text Document in Writer
2) Insert a new Table (Ctrl+F12) with 1 row and 1 column
3) Type some text into the cell
4) Select the entire cell, not just the text within the cell, and Copy the cell (Ctrl+C)
5) Move the cursor anywhere within the cell except for the first position and Paste (Ctrl+V)
Results
In Writer 4.3.7.2-5.fc21, the paste from step 5 would completely replace the contents of the cell
with the contents from the clipboard.
In Writer 4.4.3.2-4.fc22, the paste from step 5 pastes another nested cell within the first cell.
I prefer the behavior from Writer 4.3, although I don't know whether the new behavior in Writer
4.4 is by design.
Workarounds
Note that Writer 4.4 behaves like Writer 4.3 (i.e. the paste from step 5 completely replaces the
contents of the cell with the contents of the clipboard) if you move the cursor to the first
position within the cell before pasting. This is a reasonable workaround, although it could slow
me down somewhat.
Another workaround is to copy the text within the cell rather than copying the entire cell and
then highlighting the entire cell before pasting. Again, this is a reasonable, though somewhat
slower workaround.
Best regards,
Patrick
