Guys, I HATE the fact that the new browsers and office suites try to think for you but end up totally screwing up functionality. Today with documents/spreadsheets being created from multiple web-based sources, every time I go to copy something from the web and then paste it into a document, even with the select/middle-mouse (select buffer), it pastes the damn source format of the web page totally borking the document I'm working on. Libre office is the absolute worst about this, OO a bit better, but still plagued by it, now firefox is basically useless as a source for document creation. In firefox, if I select anything and then middle-mouse paste using the select buffer, the damn formatting comes along too. How in the heck do I tell it to stop this crap? I'm working on a OO spreadsheet and I'm trying to select/paste model numbers into a column with a spreadsheet font of Sans 9. There is NO way I can find to select/paste into the spreadsheet from firefox without the format being screwed up. I don't want a 64 pt. red font in my spreadsheet. If I use the copy buffer, then I can select the text, use ctrl+c and then use ctrl+shift+v and choose 'unformatted text', but so "the hell much" for efficiency. That requires a 'select' and then an additional ctrl+c to copy, then a ctrl+shift+v to bring up the 'paste special dialog' and then a select of 'unformatted text' just to paste WHAT USED TO BE a simple efficient 'select/middle-mouse' (done). What gives? Surely the developers are not so stupid as to believe every user wants to paste size 64 red text into a spreadsheet and not even leave a simple way to disable the format copy so you can still use the select buffer to get work done. Guys, I hope I'm wrong here, and there is still a simple way to tell FF I don't want the html format, but I need help finding it. I've already bugged Libre and talked with the ApacheOO devs about this issue, but that does me no good today. What is the solution here? I should NOT have to go through 'select', 'ctrl+c', 'ctrl+shift+v', select of 'unformatted text' (or select/middle-mouse paste into kwrite and then select-again/middle-mouse-paste-again) just to paste into a spreadsheet without getting size 64 red text. All of this *utterly destroys* the elegant select/middle-mouse paste efficiency that Linux developers worked so hard to brilliantly create. NEW FEATURES ARE BUGS IF THERE IS NO WAY TO TURN THEM OFF! How do I fix this problem?? </rant> -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
