trying out testlink system. What to do when you find something else
wrong than what the test is aimed at?
Hi,
I was fiddling around with the Testlink system and started testing on
AOOTest100 : Table Cell Protect.
When I protect a cell and try to *type* something into it, I get a dialog
that tells me that I can't because of the protection.
However, when I try to *paste* something in there, there's no dialog with
an error.
I realize that this wasn't what the test was about, but nevertheless I
think it would be better to trigger the dialog when pasting text also.
How do I address this? Is this simply not my call to make and do I run the
test as intended, or do I propose this change to the dev-list?

No, it is quite old. My oldest installed version is OO1.1.5 and there it
exists already.

With a Writer table I can confirm your observation.
You should indeed write a bug. Please ask and mention it here, if you do
not find all information for creating a bug, so that we can improve the
descriptions.

Hi all,
For all clarity, I'm talking about tables in *Writer*; not in Calc.
I found similar bug reports in bugzilla that describe this "defect" in
product:spreadsheet of OOo 1.1 (bug ID's 28986 and 26965), both reported in
2004.
The protection of cells in a Writer table is also a new feature in AOO3.5,
if I'm not mistaken?
I'll make a step by step reproduction procedure in Bugzilla and attach a
file that has the defect on my system.

I'm not able to reproduce it. I get always a message that the cell is
protected, whether I try to write or try to paste something into it. I
use ods-document in AOO on WinXP.
So it is very important, to attach a document which shows the bug and a
very exact description how to reproduce it.
Kind regards

Jing,
I have a little difference opinion. Compare behavior with sheet
protection. after enable sheet protection in spreadsheet, whenever input or
paste text into it, there is always a warning dialog to let user know the
sheet is protected. So back to this story I think it's a defect rather than
enhancement.
@Georges, I think you can open a defect to report this issue. Here is a
reference for how to fire a bug[1]

If, for whatever reason, you bump into something that looks like a bug
(which could be this case, but cell protection is often misunderstood,
so have a look that this case is not covered in the help -F1- already),
then the best procedure is:
1 - Describe a minimal, step-by-step, procedure to repeat it from an
empty document
2 - If, like in this case, you are undecided whether it is actually a
bug, feel free to check here on the qa list
3 - Open a bug report at https://issues.apache.org/ooo/ (check for
duplicates before posting)
