I'm not privy to the spec for this project, but I feel adamantly that the baseline starting point for Calc should have been to reproduce that which is good about Microsoft Excel, and that Calc's ultimate raison d'être should be to alleviate the pain of what's bad about Excel. Excel's right-click command "Insert Copied Rows" is powerful, extremely useful, and bug free. It enables you to retain vast amounts of formatting and we know that formatting is the weakest and most unintuitive aspect of Calc. How did the development process not go through a phase of simply creating a bug-free Excel, and then adding new features? How could such positive feature as "insert copied cells" not have been added? Am I missing the whole point of the Libre Office project? Was its only goal to provide a free alternative or was it meant to provide something much more important - a truly elegant spreadsheet editor?</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
