Description Piotr 2015-05-07 21:16:07 UTC
Steps
1. In Writer draw something. A circle (C).
2. Draw another figure, a rectangle (R).
3. Click on R, copy to clipboard.
4. Click on C, marking it, then use Paste function.

Bad result
C stays where it was, R is on placed on it.

Expected result (as it was for centuries ;)
C is replaced by R.

I do not know who did it in the version 4.4.0.3, but previously it worked as it was supposed to.
I have noticed that with every LO "update" more and more user's actions are needed to do the same things as before, in OO, and LO also.

Reproducible with LO 4.4.2.2, Win 8.1, but I cannot assess whether it worked different in the past.

Not reproducible on 4.1.4.2, XP Pro, VMware.

Hello, still persists, the newest LO.
However, there is a behaviour change:

now copied and pasted object R, instead of replacing object C in C's place, is pasted in the same position as original R.

Regression, as indicated previously: it did not appear until at least 4.1.4.2, on XP Pro.
OO did not have that behaviour.

Expected behaviour:
when a user marks object C, and pastes object R "into" marked object C, naturally wants to replace C in its place.

Cheers,
Piotr

I think it's a question for the UX team, how should it behave.

UX Team -- please take a look at this enhancement. Thanks!

My first thought was that overwriting content needs an explicite selection with some highlighting. And selecting a shape wont highlight. But images are replaced!

I wonder what commit introduced the change.

Tested with 3.3.0, 3.5.0, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 and in none of these version do I see:
Expected result (as it was for centuries ;)
C is replaced by R.

So either this centuries-old behaviour was in OpenOffice.org times or this is just a request to do something else than this admittedly unexpected thing.

The topic was on the agenda of the design meeting.

It was mentioned that we discussed it before, haven't checked the bugtracker for a reference. However, if pasting a shape wont replace other objects the same should be true for images. That's a bug.

Dear Piotr,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
