Description fenwayfrank 2005-03-06 05:18:12 UTC

I'm attempting to copy a formula that I've already entered in one cell into
several other adjacent cells by following the short-cut directions listed on the
help page:

1) Select cell containing formula
2) Position mouse in lower-right until pointer turns into a cross-hair
3) With (left) mouse button pressed, drag mouse down or to the right over the
cells where the formula should be copied
4) Release mouse and the formula will be copied.

When I release the mouse it is consistantly bringing up the dialogue box for
filling the cells with a linear, growth or date series instead.

Hi,

this sounds like a version from Debian or Redhat.

There do you get this version from ? Could not reproduce using the version from
the OOo website.

That was it: it was from the Fedora 3 distro.  Downloading the 1.1.4 version
from here works as expected.

(why on earth would they change something like that?)

Hi,

Closing as worksforme.

This "Bug" still exists in official Redhat and Fedora builds (tested with 2.0.2
on Fedora Core 5).

All automatic "fill series" functionality is removed from Fedora builds of
Openoffice.org, as part of a "scrub[s] [of] its code for intellectual property
issues" for 1.1.2 in March of 2005.

Ahh nuts. My previous comment was supposed to go on Issue 44213.

So sorry.

Comment 8 Joe Smith 2006-08-25 00:11:14 UTC

Ok, so it DID go on 44213. Twice. Grr.

Double sorry; Either I or Issuezilla got very very confused here.
