Summary	0017893: Pasting tables from LibreOffice not always pastes as tables
Description	- If I create a table and activate it, I can paste the LibreOffice (Writer or Calc) table as a table. - If no item is selected, the table is pasted (at a wrong location outside of the page) as a vector. I think that there should be a way to choose the way the table is pasted into Scribus. Not sure, if I would prefer two different commands or a popup that asks what Scribus should do with the new content.

This is a very obscure way I did not know about. I just learnt that yesterday when you mentioned this in your forum post where you pasted the table screenshots you asked for. I think tables copied from LO should paste directly in Scribus without first drawing a table on the page.
