TAB <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|RESOLVED |REOPENED Resolution|NOT_AN_ISSUE |--- --- Comment #8 from TAB <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Rainer Bielefeld from comment #7) ***I did not understand your arguments a, b, c until I opened your sample: HowToPredict.ods. Now, I understand that Calc really merges cells while Excel deletes all but one! OK. However, in most cases, the user just wants to make ONE cell larger --spanning several columns or rows, and expects its format to be preserved. To reconcile the merge operation with this usual application, I suggest that the final format be that of the first NON-EMPTY cell --which could be the 1st cell, but not always. In the case of MergB.ods, merging cells A1:B1 would preserbe the format of B1. (d) ...But that is something different from a bugfix. ***OK, don't call it a bugfix. Call it an enhancement. (e) ... do really enough people need that? Even I can live without it. But, the above suggestion should be easy to implement.
