--- Comment #13 from ady <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Heiko Tietze from comment #12) > (In reply to Buovjaga from comment #11) > > Steps for how you can see the effect of pressing Shift: > Excellent! Now the question for the OP, what do you expect? First, the [shift] key does not have an effect on the icon, but on the cells. The "normal" no-shift action is to "add" borders to the currently selected cells. If you already have top_and_bottom borders on the selected cell and you press the left-side border icon, then you have these 3 sides of the cell with a border. But, under the same initial scenario, if you press [shift] and then you click on the left-side border icon, you should end up with _only_ the left-side border; i.e. the specific border replaces the prior one(s) (instead of adding). This is all normal, expected usage. The problem in comment 0 (and all the follow up comments about [shift]) is the mention of [SHIFT] itself, which has nothing to do with what the OP wants. The request is simple. Do you see how the background color icon works? It has a main icon and a down-arrow to its side. The down-arrow allows you to select a (new) background color for the selected cells, which also sets the next "default color" for the main icon (until you select a different color on the same palette next time you use it). Then the main icon allows you to apply the same background color to other cells without having to open the color palette each and every time. The OP's request: do the same/equivalent behavior for borders (instead of background colors) on the Borders icon (which is currently not a split icon as the background color is). The actual request is at least worth a discussion. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
