[Bug 158288] When you select part of a column with merged cells, all columns that are part of the merged cell are selected

> Expected Results:
> selected a2:a5

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.

[Bug 161204] UI - dashed outline for active cell border

--- Comment #3 from ady  ---
(In reply to Robert Lacroix from comment #0)

> selected cells to a dashed line using the normal colour for dashes and the
> complementary colour between the dashes.

There are some merits to the proposal, but also some potential conflicts. The
solid "focus" (or active) line might conflict with some borders and other lines
used in Calc, but dashed lines are also in use under other conditions.

In LO 24.2, there have been some changes that affect how the active cell is
shown/marked. For instance, there is a new optional Column/Row Highlighting
setting.

Further changes in up-coming versions will also have an impact on this matter.
For example, the active cell/range indicator (the same we are discussing in
this enhancement request) is shown slightly outside the cell, instead of
overlapping with the cell's limits / grid / border.

So maybe this enhancement request includes an interesting suggestion, but
perhaps the aforementioned changes reduce the need for it. Using a 2-colors
"dashed" surrounding line to mark the active cell/range might be worth
consideration anyway.

[Bug 158288] When you select part of a column with merged cells, all columns that are part of the merged cell are selected

2024-05-21 Thread bugzilla-daemon
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=158288

--- 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.

Won't the colour of the border of the active cell depend on the user's
platform, and not necessarily on the contents of a workbook?
It's blue for me, the same colour as the row and column indicators.

--- Comment #7 from Eyal Rozenberg  ---
(In reply to Aron Budea from comment #5)

This seems like a bug to me, because it denies us the expressive potential of
the selection. We can choose to select a 3x5 region covering the merged cell;
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
mouse-down selection behavior can produce a selection of
a1,a2,a3,merged-a4-through-c4,a5 ?

As for Excel compatibility... perhaps a toggle for our compatibility options in
Tools > Options?

How would you know which form has top_left and which has top_left_1, just by
looking at the field names?

This is relevant probably since we introduced the last significant rework of
the font selection dialog. Also, I meant Format | Character... (not Format |
