Unfortunately, this is technically impossible. This is very similar to the
situation when you merge cells that all have some text in - you are asked
whether to make one string of all of them. If you gree and then use the
'toggle merge' again, the text stays merged in the first cell (this is the
behavior in the up-stream package as well).
What we could do is that with the second click on the 'merge & center', we
would reset the alignment to default.

The 'toggle merge' functionality was added later, when there already existed
these 'merge' and 'split' commands (as shown in the menu). They are still
available for UNO calls, so we would have to
- Hide them again (as it is in the current up-stream packages), and let the
'toggle merge' as it is in the up-stream package (without the centering
functionality)
- Add the 3th way, 'toggle merge & center'
- Show just 'toggle merge' and 'toggle merge & center' in the menu
Do we want that? No problem to change the patch this way, of course.

Could be. Here is the question what should be the default ;-)

The attached implementation of 'toggle merge & center' centers in both
directions (which is different from what the MS office does). Should I change
it?
