Description Nicolas Christener 2019-10-08 17:32:35 UTC 
Description:
In iOS 13 some keys on a hardware keyboard that previously didn't work now do something. It seems, that some common keyboard shortcuts do not yet work and I suggest to investigate the following:

When in edit mode in a spreadsheet document it should be possible to select a cell range using the shift-key and the arrow keys.

There are (at least) two situations where this is important:
* select a cell range to apply changes on a selection
* select a cell range when inserting a formula

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a spreadsheet on iOS 13
2. Change to edit mode
3. Use the shift-key plus the arrow-keys (hardware keyboard) to select a cell range

Actual Results:
Only one cell stays selected.

Expected Results:
A range of cells should be selected when using those keys in combination.


Reproducible: Always

Fix in https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/82282/
Comment 4 Nicolas Christener 2019-11-20 13:04:37 UTC 
Tested in 4.2.20.

The problem is fixed, I think this issue can be closed.

@Tor: could you make the fix available in 4.1.x as well?

Thanks a lot to the Collabora team and especiall Tor for taking care of this!

The patch mentioned below (the gerrit "change") was for the collabora-online-4 branch of the online repo, and is included in the 4.1.71 build in TestFlight.

For the master branch of the online repo, from which the 4.2 series is built, nothing was actually needed for this bug now, as the code is quite different there.

Let's close as WFM, then.
