For the records, since I've been quoted

Well, I'm the user who wrote about "angry chimps" in a OOo user forum referring to the unbelievable rants in the OpenOffice.org issue tracker.

Indeed, it is my oppinion that OOo has a huge audience, some active supporters, but only a tiny group of supporting developers who can actually change things for the better.

Actually the bug has been fixed a long time ago as far as copy&paste is concerned.

Contrary to other comments, I don't think, this is just a question of a "simple patch" if you consider the full functionality of spreadsheet cells being dragged around with and without modifier keys.

For the drag&drop aspect of the problem, I offered a macro, which (of course) can not be good enough.

And yes, I believe that someone is fighting his personal troll-crusade here, taking the behaviour of one particular application as a "standard". Or is there any other spreadsheet application doing the trick like Excel does?

Again: Technically speaking, the wrong behaviour is not a "bug". This is of importance in any issue tracker for any software project. The existing code does the job it has been written for.
