some tests copy/paste with discontinuos ranges
misleading ... or improved?
from the title/subject and the sample and test one could get the impression
it's generally impossible to paste data into discontinuos areas ...
at least with ver 7.0.0.0.a1+ and 6.2.8.2 the opposite is true, it is even
possible to copy from one discountinuos area to other discountinuos areas, see
attached sheet, cases S, U, Y, Z, only some simple cases are blocked, see
yellow highlighting in attached sheet,
why? was a developer 'unusually careful' not to produce errors by automatic
extend of the target area? in other cases this is generously accepted,
of course, a security warning would be desirable beforehand,
there are! some flaws, see red highlighting in attached sheet,
the request from this bug works if you select A2:A6 instead of only A2 as
target for pasting, maybe that caused the norepro <a href="show_bug.cgi?id=49205#c1">comment #1</a>,
i'd suggest:
- enable pasting to 'small targets',
- replace the option 'yes' from the dialog 'The content of the clipboard is
bigger than the range selected. - Do you want to insert it anyway?' by a
selection:
A: 'shrink' - copy partial data to small target area,
B: 'extend' - copy full clipboard to automatically extended target range,
not only for copying to autofiltered ranges but in general if target < source
in width or height,</pre>
