I cannot reproduce this.  Please provide full details (enter what in
which cells, select what, paste where -- etc.)
Comment 2 caw 2001-10-26 17:37:05 UTC 
Processor i686
Red Hat Linux 7.1 (Seawolf)
Linux 2.4.2-2

I enter text/number in any set of squares and then I want to copy
those squares to another location.  I hightlight the squares and then
relocate the mouse to a new place on the sheet and then click the
center mouse button.  The program freezes and crashes.  Does this
help?

Comment 3 Jody Goldberg 2001-10-27 05:41:09 UTC 
I have no idea why 0.67 would be crashing for that, and can not replicate that
behavior.  My best guess is that RedHat 7.1 had a few instabilities associated
with the version of glibc that came with it.  It is a shot in the dark, but you
could try looking for updates.

However, the good news is that there is an easier way to solve the problem.
Cut/Copy/Paste in Gnumeric behave the same way they do inside MS Excel (tm).

1) Select the region you want to cut/copy.
2) Cut/Copy them via the keyboard (Ctrl-{x,c}), the toolbar or the menus.
3) Select either the entire region you want to paste into, or just the top left
corner
4) Paste, again via keyboard (ctrl-v), toolbar or menu.

NOTE : We emulate XL's cut behavior too.  This means that it is really more of
a 'move' than a cut.  The source content is not cleared until you paste.
