Created attachment 42671 [details] Falsely presented warning message When pasting the contents of the clipboard into any cell, the warning about pasting and possibly overwriting data shows every time. If a cell is initially empty, pasting from the clipboard cannot overwrite data, and so there should not be a warning message. See attached screenshot.
Hi, You have probably some formatting (conditionnaly formatting) in your empty cell. I think this warning message should be sent only when there is real data (value or formula) in the cell. Kohei: what do you about that? Best regards. JBF
The problem occurs even after a cell has been emptied [select - <Backspace> - "delete all" - <OK>]. If there is conditional formatting remaining in the cell after that, then it probably still should not give a "overwrite contents" warning.
Yes, that should not warn about the overwrite.
I have a pretty good idea why this is so. BTW the same thing won't happen when the destination only has cell background colors. This only happens with cells with borders.

Fixed on master for 3.4.
