          Issue ID: 125422
        Issue Type: DEFECT
           Summary: Selection of cells moves cursor and requires too much
                    extra work in pasting
           Product: Writer
           Version: 4.1.0
          Hardware: PC
                OS: Windows XP
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: editing
          Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
          Reporter: prasadnews@gmail.com

Using a keyboard, when you select adjacent cells in a table in Writer or
Impress or Calc, during selection the cursor position also moves.  The cursor
should not move during selection. The result is this: If I try to paste
contents of 5 cells to a row immediately below, during selection the cursor
moves 5 cells right.  So, before pasting I need to move cursor left by 5 cells
again.  

Instead, during selection the cursor should not move. After copying the
content, user should be able to move the cursor just one cell down and paste
the content or wherever user wants.  

When compared with MS-Office, it is too much extra work for a simple task.  In
fact, when you have large number of cells, it is virtually impossible to paste
contents at correct location.
