Description Louie Campbell 2019-10-31 21:22:16 UTC
Description:
Excel will retain a highlighted range in sheet1 if I switch to sheet2 and then switch back to sheet1.  But LibreCalc will not retain the highlighted range; it is no longer highlighted when switching back to sheet1.

It's a great spreadsheet app.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.create a sheet1 and a sheet2; no data is needed
2.with the mouse highlight a range in sheet1
3.switch to sheet2
4.switch back to sheet1 and the range highlighted in step 2 is no longer highlighted

Actual Results:
sheet1 no longer had the highlighted range

Expected Results:
sheet1 should still have the same range highlighted from step 2


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

It is an automated thing. It just tells that quality assurance (or anyone, really) should somehow react to your report. You are welcome to help us: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/GetInvolved#Quick_start_guide_for_beginners

I found an older report, so closing this one.
