Hi, LibreOffice supports to copy the contents and formattings from the cell above with CTRL+D. However this feature has a major issue with merged cells. Please open the attached ods file. - Make sure (if not already) that cell A3 selected - Press CTRL+D, RETURN, CTRL+D, RETURN, CTRL+D, RETURN and so on several times Now try to select the resulted yellow merged cell area. It is impossible to select it and edit it. Trying to click on it always A1 instead. (On the right side beginning with F3 and below you find such a not selectable merged cell.)
Created attachment 144369 [details] CTRL+D_merged.ods
I just found that these invalid merged cells are not saved. That's why contrary to my initial comment you won't find a pre-defined "buggy" area after opening the spreadsheet.
I can reproduce it back to Version 4.1.0.0.alpha0+ (Build ID: efca6f15609322f62a35619619a6d5fe5c9bd5a) while in LibreOffice 3.3.0 OOO330m19 (Build:6) tag libreoffice-3.3.0.4 CTRL+D doesn't work...
CAN reproduce in LibreOffice-4.1.6.2.help-x86_64.AppImage CanNOT reproduce in LibreOffice-3.5.0.3.help-x86_64.AppImage because CTRL+d feature not implemented. So it looks like this bug exists since the CTRL+d feature has been implemented.
