https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/65603 is an attempt to handle the issue.

But as I see, here is no agreement about the way to handle this properly.
The options vocalized are:

1. Naming the top separator of the group, so the relevant fragment of the Row
button's drop-down would look like
> ...
> --- *Fill Cells* --- (here we insert the caption text to the separator!)
> Up [questionable in Row button drop-down]
> Down [questionable in Row button drop-down]
> Left
> Right
> Random Number...
> 
> ...
This keeps the existing UNO command labels.

2. Changing labels to the commands, so that they look like this:
> ...
> 
> Fill Up [questionable in Row button drop-down]
> Fill Down [questionable in Row button drop-down]
> Fill Left
> Fill Right
> Fill Random Number...
> 
> ...

3. Removing the elements from the drop-down completely (on the grounds that
there's no use case for them in the drop-down).

I should disagree with the lack of use cases. Unless we remove those elements
from the Sheet->Fill Cells submenu, of course. Users may fill cells by
double-clicking the cell drag handle; or by using the said submenu; or now
using the drop-down button. *If* the function makes sense at all, I disagree
that removing it from the (not cluttered!) drop-down intergating relevant
functions is a good move.

Still don't see a use case for the commands. What I mean is, when there is a
use case it's likely nothing for many. Jay modified the menus to have _all_
commands available there, but that's not a good reason to clutter the toolbar.
We have now a splitbutton with a few meaningful functions and some that are not
needed. Renaming makes it more clear but without a use case I vote for removing
it.

The Group buttons for Column and Row actions were added as popupmenus to the
Calc standard toolbar resolving bug 86083 [1]; but the Fill actions used the
existing .uno commands [2] in column_operations.xml and row_operations.xml
menuitems with no labeling--so looks like they instead draw from the Context
menu entry for their menu label. 

So, again either the Fill actions need to merged into a group button for each
of the menus or they need some annotation in the xml menu--which ever is
feasible.

Do you have a good use case for this function, ideally one that is frequently
used being the prerequisite for toolbar actions?
