Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 18195
Moving Table Rows in Writer With Drag/Drop Does Not Work Properly
Last modified: 2004-12-26 19:36:41 UTC
In a text-only table in Writer (1.1rc on Win2k), selecting one or more table rows and then dragging/dropping to a new row location does not work as expected. When the selected row(s) is/are dropped where it/they should be inserted, the content of the target row where the moved row(s) is/are dropped is completely replaced and is not moved up/down to accommodate the inserted (moved) row(s). In MS Word, dragging/dropping rows to a new row location actually inserts the rows without deleting the content of the row where the moved rows are dropped. In addition, the selected row(s) that is/are moved are simply emptied and the row(s) is/are not deleted. In other words, the content gets moved but the row(s) remain in the table, empty. I attempted the same select row(s)/drag/drop behavior in StarOffice 6.1 beta and noticed the same effect with the exception that the original rows do get deleted once their content is moved.
This behaviour is reproducible with OOo 1.1.0(en) on Win98. However, I think that´s intended behaviour. OOo tables behave different to MS Word tables in many ways, and this might be one of the differences. Since you obviously want to have this altered I will change this Issuetype to Feature Request as this clearly isn´t a Defect.
HI->BH: The table rebuild is in process anyway.
This issue seems to be a copy of 13645 ( from Sun Apr 20 03:55:00 -0700 2003 ), and also of 17414 ( created by me at Fri Jul 25 10:23:00 -0700 2003 ). aspangler |--> hi Will this implemented in 2.0 ?? This would be very fine!
