--- Comment #3 from Eike Rathke <erack at redhat.com> ---
No, it shouldn't. Or rather, it could in this one special case only if the
target range was empty. As soon as existing data is replaced by the paste at
least those individual values and changes must be tracked. So while splitting
the paste into blocks of empty and non-empty target ranges might be a solution,
tracking the empty target blocks would yield just a "here is a block of pasted
data". If those then before empty cells contained data before which was cleared
before pasting, going back in history to pick an older value would have to
split that one block again. Same if a value in a pasted range is changed later.
While all this may be doable it would quite complicate the tracking and the
dependencies of changes.
