Priority: medium
Bug ID: 74393
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: EDITING: Autofill tooltip should be based on numeric
cell if one is present
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: All
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: All
Status: NEW
Version: 4.1.4.2 release
Component: Spreadsheet
Product: LibreOffice
1. Create a new document in Calc.
2. Put the text "abc" (no quotes) into cell A1 and the number 123 into cell
B1.
3. Drag over the 2 cells so they are both selected. An autofill handle
appears on cell B1.
4. Drag the autofill handle down a row. Don't release it yet.
5. Notice that the tooltip says "abc". Now you can release the mouse button.
6. If the autofill is done on just column B instead of both columns A & B, the
tooltip says 124, 125, etc. as the mouse is moved to successive rows.
The desired behaviour is that the tooltip would say 124, 125, etc. (based on
the first numeric cell found in the starting range of the autofill) even when
both cells A1 & B1 (in this case) form the starting range of the autofill.
A user can forget the linear-progression default behaviour (i.e., without the
Ctrl key) of autofill and try to autofill "abc 123" expecting to get "abc 123"
on all successive rows of the autofill. The current tooltip does not notify
the user that the result will actually be "abc 124" etc.. The requested change
would have the tooltip notify the user of this, so preventing the unexpected
results which would require an Undo.
LibreOffice 4.1.4.2 on Ubuntu 13.04.
