Description Doug 2014-08-10 01:33:35 UTC
Calc always has a focus box centering on one cell, outlined in black.  When selecting a column or row by pressing the row or column selector, the outline moves to the first row in that column or row.  Select column B, selector moves to B1.  The outlined box is the starting point for paste operations, so its location is important for determining where things are pasted.

When pressing the corner selector button to select whole table (top left corner of spreadsheet), selector box stays where it was and does not move.  That means despite suggesting that the clipboard data should fill whole table, Calc pastes at whatever random location the cursor was *before* the whole table was selected.  That is, if the cursor previously was on G17, after pressing the corner/spreadsheet selector, the table will paste beginning at G17 and not A1.

1.  Copy data into clipboard (I was using LO Base table data)
2.  Open Calc, click middle of spreadsheet somewhere.
3.  Click corner/sheet selector at top left of spreadsheet
4.  Paste data.

Actual result:  the data pasted wherever you previously clicked, not at A1

Expected result:  data should paste beginning to A1.

Cause of problem is non-obvious, which makes it non-trivial.

When select whole sheet, then previously selected cell is still selected, when select row/colum then first cell is selected.
Should be consistent.
For example Excel do it as requester wants - when select whole sheet, then focus jumps in cell A1.
