--- Comment #2 from [email protected] --- (In reply to J22Gim from comment #0) > 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 > > > User Profile Reset: No > > Additional Info: > Version: 7.6.3.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community > Build ID: 60(Build:2) > CPU threads: 24; OS: Linux 6.2; UI render: default; VCL: qt5 (cairo+xcb) > Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US > Ubuntu package version: 4:7.6.3~rc2-0ubuntu0.22.04.1~lo3 > Calc: threaded I forgot one thing (although it is obvious, it helps make the case): the only current way of doing what I intended is to insert the columns one by one. When you have to insert several dozens this becomes cumbersome... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
