writer document with three tables, of which middle one shows the problem.
The Alt+Enter combination pressed when cursor is at the end of a text in a
right-bottom cell of a table is expected to add a paragraph below table.
This functionality is essential when there are two tables one after another,
there is a heading below a table and etc. In all those cases adding a paragraph
is critical.
There is however one case I know about in which it doesn't work.
Steps to reproduce:
Correct behavior:
1. Create a table 2x2.
2. Click in right-bottom cell.
3. Press Alt+Enter.
4. Observe that an empty paragraph is added.
Correct behavior:
1. Create a table 2x2.
2. Merge all cells in left most column into one cell.
3. Click in right-bottom cell.
4. Press Alt+Enter.
5. Observe that an empty paragraph is added.
Incorrect behavior:
1. Create a table 2x2.
2. Merge all cells in **right most** column into one cell.
3. Click in right-bottom cell (which is in fact the only cell in this column
now after merging)
4. Press Alt+Enter.
5. Observe that an empty paragraph is NOT added.
User level work-around:
1.Click on the right-bottom cell.
2.Right-click and insert a row below.
3.Now You can use Alt-Enter there.
4.Delete inserted row.
Code problems suggestion:
When I click around at cells I can see in the status bar the cell coordinate
like: "Table... B1" and "Table...B2".
In all cases when it works, I see "B2" what in this case represents
right-bottom coordinate of 2x2 table.
In case however of merged cell the coordinate reports **left-top** corner of
that merged cell, that is "Table B1".
The code which recognizes the Alt+Enter should not base on cell coordinate
only, but on cell bottom-right boundary.
