[Libreoffice-bugs] [Bug 33749] Inconsistencies in Help pages on Cell Merging and Splitting (unmerging) in Calc
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33749 --- Comment #27 from Ross Johnson --- Proposal (relative to the current development version of LO): 1) Replace the entire "Format > Merge Cells" submenu with the single "Format > Merge and Center Cells" button with all the same behaviour it has on the Formatting Bar. 2) Replace the "Split Cells" button from the context menu of a selected merged cell with the "Merge and Center Cells" button showing the current merge status, as it does elsewhere. Rationale: The current behaviour of the "Merge and Center Cells" button on the Formatting Bar is consistent with all other formatting buttons, eg, "Align Left" is still "Align Left" (but shown activated) when the text is currently already left aligned, and toggling it off reverts the alignment to a default alignment. It behaves correctly and intuitively IMO. The "Merge Cells" button in the "Format > Merge Cells" submenu should be removed as it appears to do the same as "Merge and Center Cells", that is, when it works correctly. It isn't helpful though as it has at least two problems: 1) it is greyed out if a merged cell is selected, unlike "Merge and Centre Cells"; 2) it becomes selectable when a range of cells is selected that includes a merged cell, but won't perform the merge. Removing both "Merge Cells" and "Split Cells" buttons from the Format > Merge Cells submenu leaves one entry, the "Merge and Center Cells" button, which should then be promoted to the top level menu. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

But OTOH renaming is pretty > easy. However, where is "Split"? Hi Heiko. Just to be clear, in Writer the terminology is correct: "Split Cells". This is correct because in Writer, if you add a table you can select any cell and split it further. And the newly created cells can be split again, and again... In Calc it is not possible to Split a cell. If you select a single cell, it is not possible to split it in two. The only thing that can be done is first to merge cells and later "Unmerge" them restoring their original situation. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

All this discussion is quite academic to me. But OTOH renaming is pretty easy. However, where is "Split"? The command in question is .uno:ToggleMergeCells with the label "Merge and Center Cells" (center means that regardless the alignment before the content will be cenetered). It splits/unmerges if applied to a previously merged cell. We also have a checkbox in the sidebar "[ ] Merge cells" with the tooltip "Joins the selected cells into one"… The command .uno:MergeCells (under Format > Merge) just merges and becomes disabled on previously merged cells. The pendant command is .uno:SplitCell with the label "Split Cells". My take => NAB. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
