Description: 1. When selecting a group or rows or columns, there is no handle at the beginning of the row to drag them up or down. 2. Cursor border of the selected cell is always black, making it very hard to see on dark backgrounds and impossible to see on black background. Here is a small video (600kb) that illustrates the problems: https://1drv.ms/v/s!AqtI3rSJQnG_kjilzuN9ua02OE4q Steps to Reproduce: 1. Select rows 2. Try to drag them down 3. Actual Results: There is no handle. The handle is only at the end of the table. Expected Results: Have point (handle) to drag the entire rows / columns at the beginning of the row. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: The second problem is even more important. Selection cursor being black is very hard to see on dark backgrounds. Normally it should become white if the selected cell is dark so it can be easily spotted.
I agree with the suggested changes, but isn't this "bug" more of an enhancement request?
No, because in older versions of LibreOffice I remember they were working correctly. Both actually.
These issues appear in LO v.6.1.0.1 RC1 as well, just as described above.
(In reply to Tyr Antilles from comment #2) > No, because in older versions of LibreOffice I remember they were working > correctly. Both actually. I tried several older versions down to 3.3.0 and the fill handle was never visible when whole rows were selected. Let's consult the UX team on how exactly the representation should change. The black on black issue is reported as bug 108240
I tried too older LO versions and indeed the fill handle is always black on Win10. Still I am pretty sure I had it working correctly at some point in time with an older LO version, perhaps on Win XP or Win 7, or perhaps with some different display setup like different open GL or Direct X, not sure.
MS Excel shows the/antoher handle left of the first cell, also not a perfect solution since it has a very tiny hotspot. As a user I'd expect to be able to enlarge the column height at the leftmost static column but in case of a selection some means to increase everywhere. Drawback is that a (small) range selection wont work smoothly anymore with the enlarge-everywhere option together with the handle. So the question goes to the devs, what can we do?

I am using only LibreOffice as office suite, so I know it well. On the last version of LO at this time, LO v.7.2.2.2 x64, @2021.10.15 both issues are still here as reported on the original post.
