Description Jerry 2024-02-23 14:40:10 UTC

Description:
I just upgraded to v7.6.5.2 from 7.4 (or so).

When I use the shift-arrow key to expand a selection in a colored region, there is no corresponding alteration of the affected cells, so that it is almost impossible to detect the selected section.

This was not true in 7.4-ish.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Color a background on a column.
2. Select a cell in the column.
3. Use shift-arrow to expand the region.
Voila. 

Actual Results:
Poor visibility of selected region.

Expected Results:
Selected region visible.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

I would suggest for you to attach a minimal sample spreadsheet file to the report, showing the problem, so other users with macOS can attempt to replicate the problem.

@wjsim,
You claim you can replicate this report under Windows, while this report is presented for macOS. FWIW, I also attempted to replicate this under Windows, but I don't see the problem on any version I tested – I can clearly see the selected area under some colored background. This is the reason I asked for a sample spreadsheet file in comment 1.

Jerry: please attach a screenshot of the bad result alongside the example document.
