--- Comment #14 from Eyal Rozenberg <eyalr...@gmx.com> --- (In reply to ady from comment #13) > Calc is behaving the same as any other spreadsheet tool. No, it doesn't. That is, not in principle. We consider what other spreadsheet apps do, and then decide whether to adopt such behavior or not. Very often, we adopt; but also often - we don't, or not quite. > If you don't want a > rectangular selection, then use [CTRL] in order to add the ranges you want > selected. No. Ctrl is for a disjoint selection. When you want to select a contiguous sequence of cells, you use the Shift key. > A merged range of cells is no longer just an independent group of cells. > They are related, and behaving almost (and for the most part) as a unit > (except for some extra advantages that Calc provides which are not available > in some other spreadsheet tools). Which is why the entire merged cells are, and should be, selected when the otherwise single-column selection is made using the Shift. But - cells which have _not_ been merged should be unaffected, w.r.t. selection, when other cells, in other rows, have been merged. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
