Description: According to the official guide https://help.libreoffice.org/Writer/Adding_or_Deleting_a_Row_or_Column_to_a_Table_Using_the_Keyboard One of the ways to insert a new row in a table is by pressing ALT + Insert + Arrow keys. This does not work. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a table. 2. Go to the last row. 3. Press ALT + Insert. 4. Press arrow down/up. Actual Results: Pressing the arrow down key would instead insert a newline. Pressing the arrow up key would do nothing. Expected Results: Insert a new row either above or below depending on the arrow keys. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: I realize I am not using the latest version of LibreOffice Writer, but this is the latest version in Ubuntu 18.04.1. So I am not sure what to do to fix it....I guess I could build from source if its been fixed already.
I confirm this with Version: 6.1.4.2 (x64) Build-ID: 9d0f32d1f0b509096fd65e0d4bec26ddd1938fd3 CPU-Threads: 4; BS: Windows 10.0; UI-Render: Standard; Gebietsschema: de-DE (de_DE); Calc: group threaded and also Version: 5.4.7.2 (x64) Build-ID: c838ef25c16710f8838b1faec480ebba495259d0 CPU-Threads: 4; BS: Windows 6.19; UI-Render: GL; Gebietsschema: de-DE (de_DE); Calc: CL but I'm not sure wether this is a bug within writer or within help cc: Olivier Hallot
Same problem in LibreOffice 3.3.0 OOO330m19 (Build:6) tag libreoffice-3.3.0.4 so this is a documentation problem....
Hi, I think I have found the problem. The documentation was vague on whether or not you have to hold press ALT + INSERT. What you should do is press ALT + INSERT. Lift your hands and then press Up or Down key to insert the rows. I guess the documentation did say "then" but I would argue that it is more intuitive to hold press instead of just press.

It is a bug. The expected behavior is, that Alt+Insert switches for 3 seconds into insert mode where you can insert rows/columns by using the arrow keys. The cursor moves to the new row/column. Similar switches Alt+Del to delete mode for 3 seconds. Now you can delete row/column by using the arrow keys. It is OK in Version: 5.1.6.1 Build ID: f3e25ec0581f5012f54d8810dcddd5824f4ee374 CPU Threads: 8; OS Version: Windows 6.2; UI Render: default; Locale: de-DE (en_US); Calc: group It is broken in Version: 6.1.3.2 (x64) Build ID: 86daf60bf00efa86ad547e59e09d6bb77c699acb CPU threads: 8; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: default; Locale: de-DE (en_US); Calc: CL

Maybe 6.1 broke it?
That function no longer exists since 6.1, see Bug 116452.
