[Libreoffice-bugs] [Bug 153899] Clone format does not work with joined cells

2023-03-12 Thread bugzilla-daemon

--- Comment #4 from Eyal Rozenberg  ---
So, one question here is:

Q1: Should "being merged" be considered one of the formatting properties of a
cell?

* If it should then the clone-formatting also applies the "not merged"
property, and see raal's comment #2.
* If it should not - then clone-formatting should never merge nor unmerge.

Now, even if "being merged" _is_ one of the formatting properties, then we face
a second question:

Q2: Should the clone-formatting apply to all the separating cells getting
unmerged or just to the first?


I believe that the answer Q2 is pretty clearly "Apply to all separating cells".
I very much doubt any user would want just one unmerged cell to be affected -
even if the merging is broken.

As for Q1, here my opinion is less well-formed. I tend to see "mergedness" as
not an apsect formatting, but a structural aspect, which should not be affected
by clone formatting; but I could be convinced otherwise.

The behaviour should be consistent. A joined group of cells should act like a
single cell when is the destination of a clone command. The direction matter:
the bug is in the clone command working from a specific source to a specific
destination, swapping source with destination just to say this is not a bug is 
bizzarre.
I can understand the presence of bugs (software is complex). What I do not
understand is the intention to ignore the new signalled ones. In this manner
maybe the number of confirmed bugs (the only where there is hope to see a fix
in the future) in bugzilla continue to show less bug than the ones experienced
by users.
What motivate a person to fire a bug report is the willing to help the project
to improve.

I think this is not a bug. Try opposite steps: select merged cells B2:E2, set
for example yellow background, click 'copy format button', click B17. Format is
copied containing merging of cells.
So it looks like "merge attribute" is part of cell attributes, ergo copied with
'copy format' button.
