Bug#198192: This issue still needs some action



Hi,

I'm hit by this as well, when I want to cut'n'paste my HTML resume into a
Text document (http://ydirson.free.fr/fr/cv/yann.html): I have to use
several combinations of select and cut'n'paste.

I note that upstream considers this not a bug that Ctrl-A only selects a
table.  But there are still several issues:

1. in "Edit" menu, the entry is named "Select All".  If this is not
supposed to select all of the document, the menu entry should be renamed,
since it is highly couter-intuitive: no user has ever guessed this could
mean "Select all of the nearest table" or whatever.

Depending on where I am in the document, it selects either the content of
the current cell it the pointer is in one, or the content of the 1st cell of
that table-at-the-top-of-the-doc if I am not in a table.

This really sounds like upstream did not fully understand the issue.


2. there is a need for a "Select the whole document" feature anyway


3. this table at the start of the document can still not be destroyed, and I
think _this_ was the core of the issue submitted to the debian BTS

HTH,
