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? <snip> </rant>
When pasting data use "Insert Special" under the "Edit" pull-down where you can paste the buffer unformatted. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
