Yes, you have a point. Even if I say "B4 will be selected ..." then the user
might want to select all the cells in the merge range, and saying "select the
cells explicitly" might not be the best solution. I will think over it, if I
can come up with some other ideas.

Sort of. It were "the top left cell", period, then it should not be selected
when a selection only involves columns other than the left one. The ambiguity
regarding what and where the merged cell is cannot be perfectly settled; we can
only try to minimize inconsistency, confusing and frustrated expectations - but
they will not reach zero. There will always trade-offs.

Let's take your proposal:

Other than the visualization aspect, you're suggesting a third kind of
selection logic - neither what we have now nor the logic I've suggested. With
your logic, if I've merged A4:C4 and shift-select B2:B5 - I will actually not
get the merged cell selected. Is this what I wanted? Perhaps that's debatable.
But what if I just select the merged cell - clicking on what used to be B4? Is
the merged cell selected? That's inconsistent what your selection logic; or is
the B4 "underneath" it get selected? That's definitely not what the use
expects.

So, I don't think the consistency/usability trade-off you suggest with your
proposal is the right thing to do.

(And if I've misinterpreted your suggestion, please correct me.)

Hi, I had some more ideas related to this bug, and the related bugs. So as per
my understanding, a merged cell is the top left cell of the merge range, just
covering the other cells (hiding them). 

This means that the data for the covered cells (covered by the top left cell)
is also
being stored in the sheet. Also since the merge cell is different form other
cells, as
it's dimensions are different form other cells, it adds friction when selection
interacts with the merge cell rectangle. Some of the things like "I want to
select this or that" don't work smoothly out of the box.

And this is the standard behaviour across all the spreadsheet software
available. I propose we go out of the box. So when dragging and selecting, we
should show all the hidden cells
as shadows, so that the selection/dragging becomes more intuitive and once the
select/drag
is over, we can just hide the shadows of the hidden cells, letting the top left
cell cover the whole merge area.

This would eliminate a whole lot of merge x selection bugs + would be more user
friendly.

Click on cell C4.
Click on the Name box.
Type-in C4:C10 and press [ENTER].

Side note:
Here we show one advantage of Calc over other spreadsheet tools, as the

Anyway, goal achieved.

That's the bug. That is, without merged cells, that's what it should do, but

It can't be the 1 column x several rows, because of the merge. And that's why
despite the indication of the range, the resulting selection must be (IMHO) the
set of all cell _incident_ upon the indicated range.

By the way - our current behavior is actually _not_ what you describe. Because
if one Shifts-down beyond the merged cells, the selection contracts again to
only one column wide, and actually skips the merged cells.

--- Comment #23 from Heiko Tietze  ---
We discussed the topic in the design meeting.

On the one hand, one can argue that a selection starts on top-left and goes to
bottom-right. In case of merged cells it just includes the full area. In this
regard we are compatible with Excel - actually even better since extending the
selection beyond the merged cell we keep the narrow range. Reason for this is
that a merged cell is just "covering" what is below and values are kept (unlike
in case of Excel).

However, it might be also reasonable to depict the actual selection and to not
extend. Both methods would have benefits. A major blocker is the fact that
disjoint cells cannot be selected, only ranges. As long this isn't possible we
must not change the current behavior.

Totally unclear why this should be a regression.

It seems we're still stuck at identifying what a range selection is. Selecting
with shift creates a range selection, and range selection extends to the
encompassing rectangle. It cannot be a straight column segment with horizontal
extensions where there are merged cells.

IMHO...

> Expected Results:

An alternative method to achieve that is already available: Name Box.

As for the default behavior in this matter, I do not agree that it should be
modified. If at some point some advance compatibility option for a different
behavior is added for this, it would not really be Excel-compatible but rather
any-other-spreadsheet-compatible, and the current behavior should still be the
default.

I am not against having alternatives.

Calc lacks lots of features that cannot be achieved at all, and requires a lot
of very important improvements that are really limiting users (including
myself).

It's not solved. The user does not want to, nor should they need to, click on
anything. They just perform a vertical selection using Shift and the down key,
and what they get is a wide rectangle, which is not the expressed intent.

It's a straight column-segment. Which becomes an L-shape if one of the cells on
those line is wider than the column.

I didn't want to get into the detailed steps; I assumed the intention of my
words would be understood.

1. Click on a cell and drag the mouse to select an area.
2. Release the mouse button. The area is selected.
3. Press the [CTRL] key and repeat the mouse operation on another range of
cells; they can be adjacent to the previously-selected area or not. Without
pressing the [CTRL] key, the prior area would no longer remain selected.

Again, the specific original problem of selecting A1:A4 is _solved_ by means of
the Name Box.

As for the L shape, I don't recall ever working like that with the keyboard,
nor with the mouse, on any spreadsheet tool. As for the behavior when there are
(partial) merged cells, my experience has always been like it is ATM on every
spreadsheet tool I have used; and I have taken advantage of this behavior too.
But maybe I am getting too old to remember.

Please test in any version you'd like, no need for merged cells, just plain old
Shift + arrow key behavior: hold Shift, down arrow, then right arrow. It was

It's always worked like that, except for the buggy behavior when it comes to
merged cells. If the behavior had been _consistent_, then you could make the
"this is how it's always worked argument"

The rationale for the change has been explained in multiple comments. The
arguments against seem to be:

1. Generally prefer no-change in behavior to change.
2. Microsoft Office has the same behavior is we do right now.

These two arguments are not without merit, but they are meta-arguments rather
than concrete ones. I find they are trumped by the arguments for the change.

That being said - this is a candidate for another MS Office compatibility
toggle.

It's never worked like that. We shouldn't change how Shift + selection using
mouse / arrow works on a whim. Again, I'm all for having a mode that behaves
the way you would like, but please leave Shift + selection as it is.

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.

No. Ctrl is for a disjoint selection. When you want to select a contiguous

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.

Calc is behaving the same as any other spreadsheet tool. If you don't want a
rectangular selection, then use [CTRL] in order to add the ranges you want
selected.

I already mentioned a way to select the range A1:A5 without selecting other
cells that would be also selected by doing it by dragging the mouse or by arrow
keys.

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).

IMHO, the initial problem of selecting a specific range only (A1:A5) without
having the merged cells being selected too, has a solution. For most
situations, the current behavior is broadly used and acceptable. For
less-frequent needs, there are alternatives (for either selecting cells or for
implementing a different layout). I don't see a good-enough reason to change
the default behavior (which users have been using for several decades on every
spreadsheet tool).

But of course it's the L shape! If I didn't press right or left, I definitely
don't want cells to the right and left of my selection, on previous lines, to
get selected - I just want an extension by 1 down. And more generally, see this
attachment for what I expect to get when I start from the top cell and go down,
in the presence of all sorts of merges.

If you press and hold Shift, and press down arrow and right arrow, do you
expect cells to be selected in an L shape, or in a rectangle? I assume you
would expect the rectangle to be selected.

That's the buggy behavior. When I hold down shift and use the cursor keys, I
expect the next cell down from the highlighted cell to be selected. I do not

Just click on any cell (so there is no "selected range"), then click on the
upper-left "Name Box" and type-in "a2:a5" (without quotation marks).

I am not sure about the consequences of applying any action to that selected
a2:a5 range, considering that cell a4 is no longer just a4 alone.

Now, while the selection itself is possible as I just mentioned, I agree with
Aron in comment 5. I am not sure this should be considered a bug.

FWIW, Calc already has some possibilities (on the individual cells that conform
the merged area, a4:c4 in the example) that are not available in Excel (IIRC,
but I cannot check it myself ATM). If you still need to perform actions on
individual cells, them maybe they should not be really merged at all and the
user should consider some alternative layout.

Moreover, there are situations in which the current behavior is desired.

Having said that, maybe the OP could provide some practical use-case where the
request is more meaningful.

--- Comment #8 from Aron Budea  ---
Let's see if my understanding if correct:
- When you merge A4 to C4, there's no A4 cell anymore, only A4:C4 range,
- A range is a rectangular area of cells,
- When you select cells using Shift, or hold the left mouse button and drag,
you select a range.

This implies once the cells are merged in the example, there is no A2:A5 range
anymore, and the smallest range including A2:A5 (and consequently A4:C4) is
A2:C5.
I'm not arguing there shouldn't be a way to select the least amount of
cells+ranges that come with selection of cells, it just won't be a range
anymore, and it should be a separate way apart from range selection.

I see no argument in this comment why the selection you're looking for
shouldn't be done in a different way, perhaps would be good to think about that
first, instead of fragmenting the behavior by adding a compatibility flag.

This seems like a bug to me, because it denies us the expressive potential of

and we can (try to) select 1x5 region, in one of 3 ways (left, middle, right).
Why should all four user behaviors result in the same thing, while almost no

a1,a2,a3,merged-a4-through-c4,a5 ?

As for Excel compatibility... perhaps a toggle for our compatibility options in

Thinking about this, I'm not sure this should be considered a bug. There's a
merged cell in the range, which means your selection isn't strictly within
column A, but spans to column C. Excel also behaves the same way.

Let's ask the UX team, can you please share your thoughts?
