Version: 5.3.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: fc305bb6d656736bedc2f89789e18d8c9a3bbf2c CPU Threads: 2; OS Version: Linux 3.16; UI Render: default; Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); Calc: group (Also tested with 5.1.4.2 where it works as expected) Repro Steps: 1. Open calc; 2. Merge A1 and B1 3. Copy merged A1:B1 cell 4. Paste into A2 Observed: Text within the merged cell is pasted but the merge itself does not carry through. This makes it so there is no shortcut or easy way to merge lots of cells repetitively Minor: Can slow down but will not prevent high quality work; High: Regression + pretty standard behavior. If a user wanted to merge A#:B# from A1:B1 to A1000:B1000 (i.e., 1000 merges) it would be pretty time consuming and annoying to have to do this manually instead of copy/paste. Also: Dragging has same bad behavior now
I can't repro consistently so going to close and test some more.
Sorry here are better instructions: 1. Open calc; 2. Merge A1:B1 3. Type "test" in merged cell 4. Drag down Observed: Merge breaks/does not carry through
Hi @Joel. Reproducible Win10x64 Version: 5.3.0.0.alpha0+ Build ID: 9dc3356f1499a2b90078be86ca7470eb2e96aba8 CPU Threads: 4; OS Version: Windows 6.19; UI Render: default; TinderBox: Win-x86@39, Branch:master, Time: 2016-07-21_23:52:45 Locale: es-ES (es_ES); Calc: CL But even worse I'm not able to drag only one row, at least five and only the text is copied. I think not a minor. Copy fine with the keyboard but the same problem for drag with mouse, with: Version: 5.1.5.2 (x64) Build ID: 7a864d8825610a8c07cfc3bc01dd4fce6a9447e5 CPU Threads: 1; OS Version: Windows 6.19; UI Render: default; Locale: es-ES (es_ES); Calc: CL Drag issue is inherited from OOo.

I didn't set as regression, but there is a regression for copy. Works for me with: Version: 5.2.0.3 (x64) Build ID: 7dbd85f5a18cfeaf6801c594fc43a5edadc2df0c CPU Threads: 4; OS Version: Windows 6.19; UI Render: GL;
I'm confused about the regression tag. I can reproduce this on 5.3 with a drag, but not with a copy. What are the steps to reproduce with a copy? What version is this working and not working on?
You are right @Luke, I have had a confusion because after paste, if you don't move the selection looks as if only the first cell of the merged range was pasted. So not a regression for copy with keyboard but confirmed an inherited issue for drag. - Not possible to drag a merged range on less than five*(number of merged cells less one) rows - Merge it's not copied. If there a values on the hidden cells of the merged range: - Only the first cell of the merged range is pasted. with keyboard or dragging.
Confirmed on at least 5.1.4.2
