Your explanations are understandable as far as they go. However, I can see neither a sense nor special advantages in it and would wish that it would work again like in the older version. If at least the problem with the neighboring cell would not be with an array this would be at least an alternative. (orange cell in the example) Excel and also other relevant tables do not work like LO 7.x - back to the roots please! -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
