--- Comment #4 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
We have two functions. First the text import, where you do paste special
(shift+ctrl+insert) and either insert unformatted text or use the text import
dialog. This dialog provides some options to structure the content for the
spreadsheet, ie. separate per comma, semicolon etc. The other workflow is the
internal copy/paste procedure that has structured data and allows to transpose.
Mixing the two makes no sense, as Ady commented.

The actual request is WONTFIX.

However, the context menu should give a clear feedback and disable the commands
that are not available. Plus, if you copy some cells in the spreadsheet this is
indicated with a small animation- but after copying something in the browser
the ants keep marching (yet it cannot be pasted). Seems to be filed with bug
51729.

We should change the subject into "Disable paste commands that don't apply in
context", or the like.

If you frequently access data and want to manipulate it before inserting into
the spreadsheet the "Data Provider" might be of help to you. For some reason it
is hidden and you need to run Tools > Customize in order to show the command on
the toolbar, for example.
