Repro. Bibisected on Win 6.0 repo to: https://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=cb9970400d0bbd73e508f25a67e1ad2c7dd28eb6 Wayland: Make various popups work in the overflow toolbar Adding Cc: to Maxim Monastirsky An interesting fact is that still in 3.6 the arrow keys determined the cell/row amounts. Later, there appeared a defect, where the selection did not appear with a single arrow, but you had to also press another arrow key. Then in the 5.x era it changed to just staying at More options button.

Reading the code it seems up until when the 'More Options...' button was added the keyboard should have been able to be used. Here is a patch to restore this ability when *activated by keyboard*. https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/71813/ The patch does not show the 'More Options..." button when the Insert Table popup window is activated using the keyboard. The Insert Table dialog automatically opens when row or column amount using arrow keys exceeds the row or column size of the popup. The Tab key also opens the Insert Table dialog. Up Arrow key and Left Arrow key when on first row/column as well as Escape key and Enter key at any time close the popup. When the Mouse is used to activate the Insert Table popup window the 'More Options...' button is displayed. To prevent the key input buggy behavior reported, key input is limited to Space, Return, and Escape when the focus is on the 'More Options...' button.
