Description oscar.0 2012-03-24 13:29:31 UTC

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open a new spreadsheet
2. Enter some string (e.g. "a") in some cell
3. Copy (Ctrl+C) that string
4. Move cursor (by clicking left mouse button or by using keyboard arrow keys) to some other cell (e.g. C3) a bit away from cell A1
5. Paste (Ctrl+V) copied string
6. Extend selection beyond current cell (C3 in present example) e.g. by pressing Shift+right (or any other of the up/down/left/right arrow keys)

Current behavior: New selection is B1:C3 (or A2:B3 for Shift+down etc.)
Expected behavior: Selection should be C3:D3 (or C3:C4 for Shift+down etc.)

Comment 1 sasha.libreoffice 2012-06-18 06:12:11 UTC

Thanks for bugreport
reproduced in 3.3.4 and 3.5.4 on Fedora 64 bit
and in 3.5.2 on Windows 7 32 bit

What is interesting: msExcel 2007 behaves in such situation as expected.
Therefore this bug is done not for compatibility with Excel

Changing version to 3.3.4 as most early reproduced

Comment 2 A (Andy) 2014-10-11 22:31:41 UTC

Reproducible with LO 4.3.2.2 (Win 8.1)

Note:
In step 2 write the "a" in cell A1 to get the same selected cells as in the result.
