Description Miles Lane 2002-07-06 23:18:52 UTC
Summary:        Apply "singleton" logic when pasting rows and the
                selected cell with has column > A.
                We should do likewise when pasting copied columns
                and the selected cell when pasting has row > 1.

Problem:

There are situations where a user wants to paste multiple rows,
but is unable to do it intuitively.

Repro:

Open a spreadsheet
Click and hold on the row 1 "button" at the left end of the row.
Drag to select rows 1 through 5.
Right-mouseclick -> Cut
Click on the row 10, column B cell.
Right-mouseclick -> Paste.

Result:

        Pasting into B10 : is beyond sheet boundaries

Expect:

I'd like for us to apply the "singleton" logic to the case
where, when the paste is requested, the selected cell is not
cell 1 in a row or column.  In other words, when pasting full
rows or columns, we should always force the pasting starting
point to begin with row 1 or column A.

Time to clean out old requests.
This should have been done years ago.
Patch will be in 1.5.1, we could backport it but I don't think that's useful.
