            Bug ID: 158399
           Summary: Insert multiple columns at once
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.6.3.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: Calc
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

Description:
It would be good to be able to insert several non-contiguous columns at once.
It is currently not possible, what is the specific reason for this?

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a spreadsheet with columns A, B, C, D. Populate a few rows of each of
those columns (see attachment).
2. Objective: insert blank columns in B and D, in one step.
3. Select columns B and C
4. Go to Sheet -> Insert Columns

Actual Results:
The options are greyed out; It is not possible to insert columns when more than
one column is selected.

Expected Results:
Blank columns are inserted at B and C, therefore now I have columns A, B, C, D,
E, F, where B and D are empty.

I am not sure why this option is not available... I guess it might be related
to potential problems on how to approach this (i.e. if a column changes its
location because another one was inserted before, then how to deal with the
next insertion?). I suppose a sensible way would be to do it sequentially (eg.
starting from left to right).


Reproducible: Always
