Yes Doug, you're right - each of the merged rows included column 1
cells. However, the instruction was to insert a column before, not in, a
merged column.
Also, I had the cursor positioned in column 1 in an unmerged row. Should
this alter the behaviour? Perhaps an answer is to guage the size of the
column to insert from the current row? ie. if the cursor is in an
unmerged row, you take the size of the column to insert from that row.
If the cursor is in a merged row, then you display the warning...
Thanks, Andrew.

What isn't clear in the original description is if any merged row
included a cell from column 1. If there is a merged cell included in
the column, the expected system response is a warning that it isn't
possible to insert a column in a merged row.
I'm not saying that you're wrong about the behavior you saw being
wrong because you're right. What I'm saying is that you may be wrong
about what is the wrong behavior because what you think should be the
right behavior could be wrong! (Whew!) I'm glad I had a chance to
make that perfectly clear.

Hi all,
I created a table with 4 columns, 12 rows. In 3 of the rows I merged
2 or 3 cells across a single row. When I then positioned the cursor
in the first column and clicked Column/Insert, specifying 1 column,
Before, it inserted _3_ columns. I guess this was because 3 of the
columns had been merged in one or more of the rows and therefore
Column/Insert treated a single row as being 3.
I would have thought that a single column should have been inserted.
If the merged cells needed to be taken into account, then maybe the
column should have been sized based on the 3 merged columns but
there should only have been 1 column inserted.

I tried this in 1.9.120 and got a similar, but different result.
You can see my result at

This is still not what you or I would expect, so you should file an
issue.
The best way to have problems such as this evaluated is to file an
issue. Issued are used to both report defects in the software and to
propose that new features be added. For instructions on how to file an

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. It is important that you file
the issue to ensure reproducibility with your examples.
