Example file from Calc

Attached example file contains some rows of numbers.
When a range containing the last few rows is selected, the CTRL is pressed and the mouse is moved upwards, the magenta rectangle indicating the target range shrinks to the first row of the range and autofilling downwards becomes impossible.

1. Open attached file
2. Select the range C12:H14 with the mouse
3. Press CTRL (so that values auto-increment would be disabled), then click the bottom right autofill square. The magenta fill-target-indicating rectangle appears around the selected range.
4. Move the mouse (accidentally) upwards a bit.

-> The magenta rectangle shrinks to the C12:H12 range and can be moved only horizontally, and filling does not work either.

Expected: the magenta rectangle does not shrink (or can be vertically grown), can be pulled downwards, as the normal user intention would be.

Version: 7.6.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 8e97ef854fb225dac37185c1911894b7d206fa8d
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.4; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: hu-HU (hu_HU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: default

also happens in old 4.0 version, so likely not a regression.

I'd like to point out that if you change the order of the steps, by first using the mouse and, without releasing it, _then_ press the [CTRL] key, then the actions are performed as expected.

IOW, if you first press [CTRL] before grabbing with the mouse, there seems to be a problem. But, if you start first with the mouse and then press [CTRL] before releasing the former, then all should work.
