User is working on a sheet that is protected. 2. User sees a value in a protected cell that they would like to "reuse" in an unprotected cell -- including formatting, perhaps with some minor additional edits to the data. 3. So they Copy the protected cell and Paste it to an unprotected cell. At this point, the paste succeeds and it looks good onscreen. 4. But the user then finds unexpectedly that they cannot further edit (or even Delete) the destination because it has switched to be a protected cell. (Their option at this point is to Undo.) The reason it is unexpected from the user's point of view is that they think the cell is one that are supposed to be allowed to edit, and they are surprised that they were able to alter protection of the cell from unprotected to protected even though the sheet is currently "locked".</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
