Bug ID: 94669
Summary: Calc editing - autofill step-size: suggest no
increment if the sequence initially contains only one
cell.
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.0.2.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Autofill works excellently when there are at least 2 cells already in the
sequence, and we are dragging into a 3rd and subsequent.
E.g. given a sequence: 1 , 2
autofill will correctly continue as 3 , 4 , 5 ,...
Likewise, the sequence 1 , 1
continues as 1 , 1 , 1 ....
However, if the sequence only has one term, autofill's default behaviour is to
increment it, which I personally find almost always wrong.
The sequence: 1
should continue 1 , 1, 1, 1, ...
While the sequence: Jan 1 2015
should continue: Jan 1 2015, Jan 1 2015, Jan 1 2015, ...
In other words, auto-fill based on a single cell should assume that the step
size is zero, and that I want a whole column of identical values.
I do realise that this is something that different people will see differently,
therefore it should probably be a preference, with the present behaviour as a
default.
Thanks very much for your time.
