MacPorts Gnumeric copy-paste bug

[Ioan Chera <ioan_chera yahoo com>]

Hi, I'm using Gnumeric on my early-2008 MacBook with OS X 10.7.5.

It's Gnumeric version: 1.10.17 installed by MacPorts, as "gnumeric-1.10.17_1+python27+universal.darwin_11.i386-x86_64.tbz2". Apparently during the run it can't find "Python Launcher.app" and "Build Applet.app" from inside "/Applications/MacPorts/Python 2.7" (because they didn't get installed).

The actual bug in this situation is when I try to copy-paste a block of cells. If I press control-C to copy several cells (a block of selected cells), I will see no "marching ants", and when I press control-V to paste, the "Text Import Configuration" dialog appears with the copied text. It looks as if it doesn't recognize the copied text as Gnumeric native. The file is untitled.

On a single copied cell, it acts correctly, no "text import" dialog.
