TO everyone: This is the 2nd call.

Please have a look at my previous post.

In order to get a feature implemented into OOo, we need to write a 
specification.

That is why I brought into discussion the way this feature should work.

I started also a discussion on the UX-list, see:
http://ux.openoffice.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=discuss&msgNo=2336
[But NO responses either.]

To explain some of my rationale:
When we have merged cells, we may want to insert some cells or delete some
cells. Because inserting/deleting a limited selection creates a lot of ambiguity
(by allowing different options to shift cells up/right/...), I decided to start
with inserting/deleting whole rows or columns. This is more easily handled and
behaves predictably.

A number of scenarios are possible even when inserting or deleting a whole
row/column, see my previous message.

When inserting: new cell would be added to the merged complex.
Should the new content replace or be appended to the existing content?

When deleting:
Delete content from merged cells, or leave content untouched?

Some further options are discussed in the other posts. Feel free to add any
other opinion/option.

I actually favour both options in both instances, so a dialog is warranted. For
inserting/deleting only a limited selection of cells, the "shift"-options could
be disabled, allowing only insert/delete whole row/column (and of course a
CANCEL button).
