Comment 2 for bug 270746

Thank you for taking your time to file this bug and helping make Ubuntu better. The input line which you call as main entry box is mainly used to display the contents of the cells, especially the actual formulas and expressions used behind the value displayed in the cell. Thus it doesn't have a right click menu at all. One can select the test in a cell, cut or copy it, click on some other cell selecting it, click on the input line and press Ctrl+V to copy whatever was cut or copied previously. Instead, it is possible to right click on the target cell and select Paste from the menu. The input line is mainly for entering expressions and formulas used to fill the corresponding cell.

This is the implementation in OpenOffice and if you still consider this as a bug, feel free to report it in the upstream issue tracker (http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/) as well and link the upstream bug here. Thanks in advance.
