1. In a new spreadsheet, select all (Ctrl+A) then change font name and size (e.g., to Arial 14, direct formatting) 2. Select A1:A2, and merge them (Merge and Center Cells, e.g. on toolbar) 3. Keeping the selection, set cell background to e.g. red; 4. Keeping the selection, double-click (to make it repeated) Clone Formatting (Paintbrush) tool 5. Click B1 -> B1 and B2 are now merged and red 6. Click-and-drag C1:C2 -> C1 and C2 are now merged and red 7. Unmerge B1:B2 8. Unmerge C1:C2 9. Compare formatting of B2 and C2. B2 now has the formatting it had before step 5, i.e., the one applied at step 1 (Arial, 14). C2 now has default formatting (the one before step 1). So the results of application of the Clone tool are inconsistent and depend on if it was applied "across the merge direction", clearing direct formatting of hidden cells. Tested with Version: 6.3.2.2 (x64) Build ID: 98b30e735bda24bc04ab42594c85f7fd8be07b9c CPU threads: 12; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: GL; VCL: win; Locale: ru-RU (ru_RU); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded
I think a dup of https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=86143, the same problem with dragging.
(In reply to m.a.riosv from comment #1) I cannot actually be sure that the underlying issue is not the same; yet, the manifestations are rather different, so I propose to keep the two distinct for the time being, and just re-test when the other is fixed.
Reproducible Version: 6.3.2.2 (x64) Build ID: 98b30e735bda24bc04ab42594c85f7fd8be07b9c CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: GL; VCL: win; Locale: es-ES (es_ES); UI-Language: en-US Calc: But maybe when dragging with paintbrush C1:C2, not should be C1:C2 unmerged and C2:C3 merged?
Dear Mike Kaganski, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year. There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. Please DO NOT Update the version field Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker) Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case) If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION.
