tmacalp <[email protected]> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #2 from tmacalp <[email protected]> --- I just found this bug, but appears to be the same as Bug 61534. >From what I can tell, the problem is with with "selection modifying keyboard actions" no longer changing your cursor cell. These actions include shift+arrow keys, shift+ctrl+arrow keys, etc... You can easily test for this change by opening a blank spreadsheet, holding shift, and pressing right arrow. In OpenOffice and previous LO versions, shift + right arrow would extend the selection AND change the cursor cell in the new direction. Now, it only extends the selection and leaves your cursor cell where it was. The problem is that ALL actions are based off of your cursor cell, so if you start in a blank column, shift-arrow to select some actual data, and then ctrl-shift-down, it will attempt to go to the bottom of the range, except that the action is still based off of the cursor cell, which is still in a blank column, so it goes to the very bottom of the range. In bug 61534 there are many examples which explain this behavior. In my opinion, this is a serious regression, as it makes it very difficult for me to select a blank cell range parallel to a filled one. It also has the possibility of destroying previously recorded macros. I just don't know if this behavior was intentionally changed or if it is a regression. Does Excel behave this way? I don't have access to a current version to a current version of MS Office to compare. If it was intentional, I would love to have a toggle to enable to original (correct) behavior. I can also verify that this is still affecting LibreOffice 4.0.2.2, both MS Windows and Linux. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
