Bug: strange copy-paste behaviour when inserting multiple rows and columns into result grid

[Claus Pedersen]

I have some data, with something like 100 lines with 6 tab-separated numbers (between 0 and 9), like this:

1<tab>2<tab>3<tab>4<tab>5<tab>6
6<tab>5<tab>4<tab>3<tab>2<tab>1
(etc. x 100 lines)
9<tab>8<tab>7<tab>6<tab>5<tab>4

I copy this data.

I have an empty table containing 6 number columns.

I select the columns for update in an SQL window: "SELECT n1,n2,n3,n4,n5,n6 FROM myTable FOR UPDATE" where n1..n6 are my table's number columns.

Now I get an empty result grid. I press the lock symbol to be able to edit data. I now mark all 6 columns by Ctrl-clicking them individually and tries to insert (Paste). This does not work, as the Paste option in the context menu is not enabled. I now place the cursor in the first enterable field and mark all 6 columns again. Now I can paste, but only the last column (n6) is filled in, the 5 columns before are left empty. It is the last column of the tab-separated numbers that is pasted in.

I execute my select again, to flush data. I now press the asterisk and the resulting arrow symbol to mark all columns and paste. Now 5 columns of data are inserted, but in the wrong columns. Column 6 (n6) is left empty and column 1 of my data is missing.

I start over and this time positions the cursor in column 1 (n1) and press the left- and top-most square to mark all. In this mode, the copy-paste seems to be working, but only every second time, in the other cases I get the type of errors as described above.

Is this a known issue, and will it be corrected in version 8?

That does indeed not seem right. We'll fix it.

Thanks.

BTW, in the old forum system, it was possible to mark that you wanted an email when a post was updated. Is this still possible and how?

It doesn't seem that this is possible, but we'll look into this. The only alternative is the "Watched Topics" feature. This still requires that you visit the forum to check if there are any updates on the topics you are interested in.

Perhaps this option does something?

"By default should anything added to your Watch Lists be emailed to you?"

Hello Worker,

thanks, I will try that

(to other users: the option is located under My Stuff -> Preferences)

Apparently you can also pick-and-choose which items on your "Watch List" should be emailed.

My Stuff -> Watch List
then:
Watched Forums -> Edit Watched Forums
Watched Topics -> Edit Watched Topics
