Bug ID: 159112
Summary: Selection of a column of merged cells using the arrow
treats them as write-protected
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.6.4.1 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
In the attached document, I have two tables. The first is a 2 column x 4 row
table. I merged the top two cells and bottom two cells of the right-hand
column. If I select the merged cells using the arrow that appears by hovering
over the top of the column, I am unable to change the attributes of those cells
(e.g., bold) -- they are treated as write-protected. If I manually select both
merged cells, however, I am able to change their attributes.
This behavior occurs sometimes in columns of mixed merged and umerged cells and
sometimes not, but I have not been able to determine the pattern. Here are the
results of the different combos, which I tested on the left hand column of the
top table of the attached document.
* 1+2 merged, 3 and 4 unmerged: no problem
* 1+2+3 merged, 4 unmerged: no problem
* 1+2+3+4 merged: problem
* 2+3 merged, 1 and 4 unmerged: no problem
* 2+3+4 merged, 1 unmerged: problem
* 3+4 merged, 1 and 2 unmerged: no problem
This occurs only for columns. I created a second table with 4 columns and 2
rows, and merged the left two and right two cells of the first row. Selecting
the row using the arrow that appears when hovering over the left-hand side of
the table allows changing the attributes.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create a table with 4 rows and 2 columns.
2. Merge the top two cells of the left-hand column and the bottom two cells of
the right-hand column.
3. Select the column using the arrow at the top of the column. Notice that
attributes cannot be changed.
4. Select the two cells of the column by clicking and dragging the mouse or
using shift-down. Notice that the attributes can be changed.
5. In the left hand column, merge all four rows. Select the whole column (now a
single merged row) using the arrow. Notice that attributes cannot be changed.
Select it manually. Notice that attributes can be changed.
6. Undo the merge. Merge rows 2, 3, and 4. Select the whole column with the
arrow. Notice that attributes cannot be changed. Select the two cells manually.
Notice that attributes can be changed.
Actual Results:
Unable to change attributes when selecting using the arrow.
Expected Results:
Should be able to change attributes when selecting using the arrow.
Reproducible: Always
