Description
Alex Bernstein
In addition: [Defect #231820]: Multi-select copy/cut and paste does not work in the datapool editor. The user can select multiple cells (shaded) in the datapool editor, however one cell is the active cell (unshaded with no border). As a result, the context menu is isolated to the active cell and the user cannot multi-select copy/cut and paste. *** Bug 231820 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This defect is still reproducible in TPTP 4.5.0 (http://www.eclipse.org/tptp/home/downloads/?ver=4.5.0). In addition, selecting a cell will outline the cell with a dotted box but the entire row is grayed (excepted the selected cell). As well, selecting a cell with CTRL is pressed, all of the selected cells are grayed. This should be removed unless the row number is selected (first column). We should be able to select or added to an existing selection (using CTRL) individual cells. My understanding is that people expect a behavior from Datapool Editor to be similar, if not exactly the same, as that of any well-known spreadsheet application. Perhaps we can draw some user experiences from there?

Perhaps we can draw some user experiences from there? > Yes, we can use a similar user experience. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 252958 *** Reopening to cover the following issues (see 252958): 1) When selecting and copying multiple rows, only the first row is copied. Requires changes to /org.eclipse.hyades.test.doc.user/concepts/cdatapooleditor.htm to reflect the support added by this defect. In addition, support multi-line pasting. That is, the user would create the new variable in the datapool, copy multiple cells from Excel or multiple lines from a text editor, selecting the same number of rows in the variable of the datapool, and pasting the multiple cells. Deferring to TPTP 4.7.0. This defect will resolve copy-cut/paste of multi-rows or records instead of multi-cells (see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=283713#c7).

This will only be supported for data copied from other datapool cells/rows since pasted data must be enclosed in <Literal></Literal> elements to determine cell delineation.

Patch.
Added 5 new test cases and refactored 2 existing test cases in /org.eclipse.hyades.test.ui.datapool.tests/manual/datapool/Test.UI.DatapoolEditor_editing.testsuite to cover the symptoms in this defect. Updated the Datapool Editor documentation. The attached patch is checked into CVS (HEAD). As of TPTP 4.6.0, TPTP is in maintenance mode and focusing on improving quality by resolving relevant enhancements/defects and increasing test coverage through test creation, automation, Build Verification Tests (BVTs), and expanded run-time execution. As part of the TPTP Bugzilla housecleaning process (see http://wiki.eclipse.org/Bugzilla_Housecleaning_Processes), this enhancement/defect is verified/closed by the Project Lead since this enhancement/defect has been resolved and unverified for more than 1 year and considered to be fixed. If this enhancement/defect is still unresolved and reproducible in the latest TPTP release (http://www.eclipse.org/tptp/home/downloads/), please re-open. |
