Bug ID: 106932
Summary: Impossible to select all entire table rows when
vertical Merges are present
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.3.2.1 rc
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]

SelectBug.odt (see "Steps to Reproduce")
In a Writer table:
It is (seemingly) impossible to select all cells in a set of contiguous rows if
they contain more than one vertically-merged pair of cells. I don't know
exactly what conditions make some cells un-selectable (in combination with
others), but the attached demo document shows an example.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1. Load the attached SelectBug.odt
2. Try to select the bottom two rows of the table, including the
vertically-spanned cells (everything except the header row).
3. (In real life, the next step would be to copy the selected rows and paste
them many times to create new tables. But you can't get this far.)
RESULTS: Impossible to select all cells in the bottom two rows of the table.
If you select a vertically-spanned cell on either end and try to sweep
horizontally with the mouse to pick up others, then some previously-selected
cells un-select themselves.
The widespread convention of Control-click to add/subtract from a selection set
does not work either (I don't think LO intended to follow this convention, but
probably it should for consistency with Microsoft Windows [though I hate to say
it])
EXPECTED RESULTS: There should be a way to select any contiguous set of cells,
or at least all cells in a contiguous set of rows. If feasible, the
"Control-Click to add/subtract from selection" paradigm would help users who
are familiar with selection methods in other software.
