------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Tue Sep 9 15:39:50 +0000 2008 ------- 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). --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
