I am a member of the German OOo-QA. Andre Schnabel suggested that I discuss certain bugs and usability issues directly with the developers of the spreadsheet application.

I hope I have found the correct list to do so.

You know about Issue Tracker, don't you?

26. Select melted cell B2-C2
27. Use Edit - Paste Special
     with deselected "Paste All" and "Formats" and
     all other entries in fields "Selection" selected
     -> raises error "Cell merge not possible if cells already merged"
        This is bug #1, as it should NOT copy any format as we have
        learned in step 21, so there can be no clash.

See issue 7500.

30. Select Sheet 2

Looks related to issue 65964, I'll take a look at this. Thanks for pointing it out.

        Furthermore, now cell C2 can no longer be select neither
        with cursor nor with mouse! The document got corrupted.

Note that the "corrupted document" isn't that much of a problem - saving and reloading rectifies it, as does unmerging the cells before the affected area.

While it is clear, that the 'melted format' sometimes cannot be copied due to clashes with surrounding melted cells, OOo should automatically switch to copy just cell contents when a clash is detected. This would help to overcome most problems in this area.

Silently doing something else because the user-selected action isn't possible doesn't seem like a good idea. The check for merged cells could be modified to ignore those cells that would be overwritten when pasting, but that doesn't have much priority.
