Priority: medium
Bug ID: 75823
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: UI: Grouping/Ungrouping is small scope|FIFO, should be
large scope|LIFO?
Severity: enhancement
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Windows (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.2.1.1 release
Component: Spreadsheet
Product: LibreOffice
Scenario:
Select columns A and B, group together.
Select columns C and D, group together.
Select columns A through D, group together.
Select columns A through D, choose ungroup.
Rather than the group for A through D getting ungrouped, the two groups A-B and
C-D get ungrouped.
This enhancement request is to either:
A. ungroup the group that best matches the selected range first (going from top
to bottom as seen from the UI).
B. ungroup only the last group added that is within the selected range (which
means keeping order-of-operations stack internally)
I can think of a reason why it is the way it is right now. If you...
1. add a bunch of smaller groups
2. group those together in a larger group
3. decide you no longer need the smaller groups
4. select the range inside that larger group
5. hit ungroup.
..then you're left with just the larger group, exactly what you wanted from
step 3.
With the proposed change, this would instead leave you with all of the smaller
groups. You would have to select those individually, then ungroup them.
However, a faster method for this specific use case would be to ungroup twice
(removing both 1. the larger grouping and 2. the smaller grouping), then group
again (re-creating the larger grouping).
A similar workaround does not exist for the current implementation; the first
ungrouping removes the smaller groups before the second ungrouping removes the
larger group, inherently requiring re-selection of smaller groups' ranges
before grouping once more - resulting in more operations.
I may have missed something though.
