Bug ID: 158034
Summary: Feature request: Editing, Formatting, UI. Option to
add linebreaks when merging cells into one.
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: angyon...@gmail.com
Description:
When merging cells in Libreoffice Calc, there is an option to append the hidden
cells into the main cell. However when this option is used, cells do not retain
their structure, i.e. text in lower cells do not remain lower but get pushed to
the right since there is no linebreaks and the result is only a single line. It
would be nice if I could merge the cells while keeping the structure, like tabs
and linebreaks, which are normally used when transferring tables in text-only
applications. This would also make it easy to "unmerge" cells later, by simply
copying that cell's content and pasting it at the destination.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.create more than 1 adjacent cell with content in each cell
2.select the cells
3.right click and select merge cells
Actual Results:
Dialog box with options that do not include linebreaks
Expected Results:
Dialog box with option to keep cell structure using tabs and/or using
linebreaks
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
