[Ubuntu] [hardy] Backspace and Delete keys have the wrong functionality in OO calc

Bug #175983 reported by Sam Glover

Bug Description

In Windows, the backspace key deletes the contents of a cell, while the delete key brings up the "delete contents" menu with checkboxes. In Linux, the keys are reversed. It seems these should be made the same for the sake of consistency.

Sorry for my lack of specificity. I am talking about Calc. This
inconsistency/bug has been present since I started using OOo during v2.1.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This bug did not have a package associated with it, which is important for ensuring that it gets looked at by the proper developers. You can learn more about finding the right package at [WWW] https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage . I have classified this bug as a bug in openoffice.org.

Talked to kohei and apparently ooo-build wants to be different than all other openoffice/staroffice users to be more like Excel but didn't change the documentation. Of course even if the documentation were to be changed it would still be gratuitously different than everyone elses version of the same program. So I will be fixing this back on Ubuntu unless anyone objects.
