Description vuksan 2001-07-05 16:04:38 UTC 
Cut and paste doesn't work :-( and you can't undo either. To reproduce
select a cell or a range of cells. Click Cut. Text you selected will
disappear after a second and will be gone forever. Paste will not paste
anything. Clicking Undo doesn't bring the text back :-(. 0.67 is Ximian's
version downloaded through Red Carpet.

Neither I nor the Ximian testers can replicate this.  Sorry.
Comment 2 vuksan 2001-07-12 20:47:13 UTC 
I am running KDE 2.2alpha1 when I am experiencing this problem. If I
log in to Ximian GNOME on the same machine and run Gnumeric and do Cut
and Paste the problem doesn't appear. What is even more peculiar is
that the previous version of Gnumeric ie. 0.65.ximian did work under
KDE 2.2alpha1. Weird.

Reopening.  This looks quite weird to us.
Comment 4 Jody Goldberg 2001-07-15 02:42:41 UTC 
Have you changed your 'Klipper' settings ?
Comment 5 vuksan 2001-07-15 17:11:43 UTC 
I have not changed the Klipper settings. Today however I have been playing with KDE 2.1.1 that comes with the Redhat 7.1 distribution and I get the same kind of behavior. If I click on the Klipper icon Klipper will show what I just cut in its clipboard "history" but I still can't paste.

If I close Klipper I can cut and paste normally and as soon as I start it again I have problems :-(.

I have also reinstalled gnumeric 0.61 that comes with RH 7.1 and even 0.61 is affected when Klipper is running.
Comment 6 Jody Goldberg 2001-08-02 01:44:02 UTC 
This should be fixed in 0.68.  We now only implement cut behaviors for gnumeric -> gnumeric transfers.  When cutting and pasting into another app we leave the content in place.
