Steps how to reproduce with parallel installation of Master "LOdev 3.7.0.0.alpha0+ - ENGLISH UI / German Locale [Build ID: 70ec82)]" {tinderbox: @16, pull time 2012-11-09 00:53:19} on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) with separate User Profile for Master Branch: 1. Start LibO 2. Open New Spreadsheet using start center button 3. If Document contains more than 1 sheet: Menu 'tools -> Optiopns -> Calc -> Defaults' change 'Number of worksheets in new document" to 1 <ok> Close libo and restart from 1 4. type an "a" into cell A1 5. 'Right click sheet tab "Sheet1" -> Move/Copy sheet' Expected: Radio button "Move" greyd out, because it's not possible to move a sheet in a document only containing this sole sheet. Radio button "Copy" active and selected Actual: Selected radio button "copy" is greyed out, looks inactive 6. <ok> > A uplicate of "Sheet1" will be added. So the function works fine as expected, but UI wrongly looks as if copy would be impossible. The problem seems to be that both radio buttons are buttons are marked inactive by the same condition, but they need different ones for the "only 1 sheet" case.
This problem is already [Reproducible] with "LibreOffice 3.3.0 RC4 - WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) German UI [OOO330m19 (build 6 / tag 3.3.0.4)]" and OOo 3.1.1, so this problem is inherited from OOo. One reason for the current behavior might be that in the past there only was a checkbox instead our 2 radio buttons, and there the only way was to mark the Checkbox inactive with checkmark if no selection is possible. I wonder whether it is possible to mark some of the possible radio button selections inactive and other ones active? So may be this is not a bug report but an enhancement request?
Rainer - this one looks fixed to me on 3.6.4.3, going to mark as WFM. If I'm wrong, my apologies :) Tested on: 3.6.4.3 release Bodhi Linux 4.0.0.3 release on Windows 7
The question was not whether it works, but whether UI looks intuitive. So here we have a design question. Looks as reported in any of my Versions with any of my Profiles (or fresh new profile) until 4.1.0.0.+: 'Move/Copy sheet' for the only single sheet of a document shows up the expected dialog, but both radio buttons 'Action' are greyed out. The question is whether that is in accordance with style guides, or even whether we have style guides for such cases. Unfortunately I did not find a similar case with 2 radio buttons, but for example see attached screenshot comparison, wehre "greyed out" has different meaning. I think we should try a better unification to make I more intuitive. I will leave a comment at <libreoffice-ux-advise@lists.freedesktop.org>

Agree with Rainer that this could use some looking through. I guess it might be best to rename the option to Copy Sheet everywhere in this situation, i.e. context menu, window title. In the given situation, we could then also remove the confusing greyed out selector.
