Description gorn 2003-05-05 04:56:41 UTC 
I think that if I select some text which CONTAINS ENTIRELY protected 
field/picture/text/whatsoever it should be possible to delete it (possibly with 
warning), or at least OO should give any hint why nothing have happened.

Currently attempt to do so results into nothing, even not a warning. I think 
that this is very CONFUSING, because user does not know WHY nothing have 
happened, and even if the idea if having protected part of the text in the 
selection pops up to her mind, she should still locate the protected place, 
unprotect it and than repeat everything for any protected part and then delete 
the text.

Hi,

I can confirm that this issue still exists. 

I'm not able to cut/paste or delete tables which have protected cells in them. 
This seems to be a big limitation esp. if someone is using big tables with 
multiple protected cells.

Although this is marked as an Enhancement, i feel it should be given relatively 
high priority as it is more of an limitation w/ the current table use-model.

Thanks,
Abhishek.

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".

No indication when trying to delete a protected picture.
Good UI practice: every user action should be answered.
