Description David García 2024-02-13 23:33:41 UTC

Description:
Sparklines only take the space of the original first cell of a merged cell.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. I merge two cells.
2. I try to create a new sparkline and place it on the merged cell, but Calc only allows me to place it on the fist original cell.
3. As expected, the sparkline only takes the space of the first original cell, the second one remaining empty.

Actual Results:
The sparkline is placed on the first original cell of the merged cell.

Expected Results:
The sparkline should be placed on the whole merged cell.


Reproducible: Always

But I'm not sure if it should be a request for enhancement better than a bug.

Comment 3 David García 2024-02-15 15:31:43 UTC

I'm not an expert, but I considered it to be a bug in the sense that LO allows to merge cells, and since cells are used to contain information, it makes sense for the information (in this case, a sparkline) to take the whole cell. Otherwise, the rest of the merged cell becomes useless: just empty space.
