Description: when you are on your cell, the standard white arrow is activated, and the pick point of the arrow is where you want to pick up the clone cell. So, you click the cell and then go up to the clone command (the brush) always using the arrow pick...but after that, the arrow became a bucket and not a brush and this is confusionary and it's not the worst problem. The worst problem is that the pick (the target, the aim) of the bucket point down direction and not up, so 90% you paste on the lower cell that you need because you are used to the arrow that ALWAYS point to Up. Why don't you change the bucket to a brush that point up in the same exact point of the arrow? You'll get two picheaons with one shot! (sorry for my english guys...) Steps to Reproduce: 1.point in a cell 2.select the clone (brush) command 3.point to the cell that you want to copy in the same position and click Actual Results: you paste the on the lower cell instead of the cell you ned Expected Results: paste on the upper cell Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info:
Please don't set up your own reports as 'new' it needs to be confirmed by someone else.

see printscreen - red area is how it works now, blue area how dariomol9 expect it should work. Makes sense. adding UX team to cc.
Created attachment 147430 [details] printscreen of icon
Hmm, the iconography is pretty consistent. In all icon themes, the Clone Formatting button action shows a paint brush--bristles down. And when selected all themes pick up a cursor (SystemPointer == FILL, 31) symbolized as a pouring paint bucket. Again offset right & up, so lower left is pointer focus. This iconography (pointer & button) for clone or fill is consistent. And I don't think we gain anything by changing the pointer. IMHO => WF
I agree with Stuart, the paint flows out of the bucket and the symbol is correct. The hotspot of icons is always a tricky part and I doubt everybody would know where the brush has it.
